Job 24

¹Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days.

²Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them.

³They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow’s ox for a pledge.

⁴They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.

⁵Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children.

⁶They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.

⁷They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:

⁸Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.

⁹They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.

¹⁰From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.

¹¹They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.

¹²Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.

¹³They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his paths.
