24:1 Why, seeing times 6256 are not hidden 6845 8738 from the Almighty 7706, do they that know 3045 8802 him not see 2372 8804 his days 3117?

24:2 [Some] remove 5381 8686 the landmarks 1367; they violently take away 1497 8804 flocks 5739, and feed 7462 8799 [thereof].(feed…: or, feed them)

24:3 They drive away 5090 8799 the ass 2543 of the fatherless 3490, they take 2254 0 the widow's 490 ox 7794 for a pledge 2254 8799.

24:4 They turn 5186 8686 the needy 34 out of the way 1870: the poor 6041 8675 6035 of the earth 776 hide 2244 8795 themselves together 3162.

24:5 Behold, [as] wild asses 6501 in the desert 4057, go they forth 3318 8804 to their work 6467; rising betimes 7836 8764 for a prey 2964: the wilderness 6160 [yieldeth] food 3899 for them [and] for [their] children 5288.

24:6 They reap 7114 8799 8675 7114 8686 [every one] his corn 1098 in the field 7704: and they gather 3953 8762 the vintage 3754 of the wicked 7563.(corn: Heb. mingled corn, or, dredge)(they gather…: Heb. the wicked gather the vintage)

24:7 They cause the naked 6174 to lodge 3885 8686 without clothing 3830, that [they have] no covering 3682 in the cold 7135.

24:8 They are wet 7372 8799 with the showers 2230 of the mountains 2022, and embrace 2263 8765 the rock 6697 for want of a shelter 4268.

24:9 They pluck 1497 8799 the fatherless 3490 from the breast 7699, and take a pledge 2254 8799 of the poor 6041.

24:10 They cause [him] to go 1980 8765 naked 6174 without clothing 3830, and they take away 5375 8804 the sheaf 6016 [from] the hungry 7457;

24:11 [Which] make oil 6671 8686 within 996 their walls 7791, [and] tread 1869 8804 [their] winepresses 3342, and suffer thirst 6770 8799.

24:12 Men 4962 groan 5008 8799 from out of the city 5892, and the soul 5315 of the wounded 2491 crieth out 7768 8762: yet God 433 layeth 7760 8799 not folly 8604 [to them].

24:13 They are of those that rebel 4775 8802 against the light 216; they know 5234 8689 not the ways 1870 thereof, nor abide 3427 8804 in the paths 5410 thereof.

24:14 The murderer 7523 8802 rising 6965 8799 with the light 216 killeth 6991 8799 the poor 6041 and needy 34, and in the night 3915 is as a thief 1590.

24:15 The eye 5869 also of the adulterer 5003 8802 waiteth 8104 8804 for the twilight 5399, saying 559 8800, No eye 5869 shall see 7789 8799 me: and disguiseth 5643 7760 8799 [his] face 6440.(disguiseth…: Heb. setteth his face in secret)

24:16 In the dark 2822 they dig through 2864 8804 houses 1004, [which] they had marked 2856 8765 for themselves in the daytime 3119: they know 3045 8804 not the light 216.

24:17 For the morning 1242 [is] to them even as 3162 the shadow of death 6757: if [one] know 5234 8686 [them, they are in] the terrors 1091 of the shadow of death 6757.

24:18 He [is] swift 7031 as the waters 6440 4325; their portion 2513 is cursed 7043 8792 in the earth 776: he beholdeth 6437 8799 not the way 1870 of the vineyards 3754.

24:19 Drought 6723 and heat 2527 consume 1497 8799 the snow 7950 waters 4325: [so doth] the grave 7585 [those which] have sinned 2398 8804.(consume: Heb. violently take)

24:20 The womb 7358 shall forget 7911 8799 him; the worm 7415 shall feed sweetly 4988 8804 on him; he shall be no more remembered 2142 8735; and wickedness 5766 shall be broken 7665 8735 as a tree 6086.

24:21 He evil entreateth 7462 8802 the barren 6135 [that] beareth 3205 8799 not: and doeth not good 3190 8686 to the widow 490.

24:22 He draweth 4900 8804 also the mighty 47 with his power 3581: he riseth up 6965 8799, and no [man] is sure 539 8686 of life 2416.(no…: or, he trusteth not his own life)

24:23 [Though] it be given 5414 8799 him [to be] in safety 983, whereon he resteth 8172 8735; yet his eyes 5869 [are] upon their ways 1870.

24:24 They are exalted 7426 8804 for a little while 4592, but are gone and brought low 4355 8717; they are taken out 7092 8735 of the way 1870 as all [other], and cut off 5243 8799 as the tops 7218 of the ears of corn 7641.(are gone: Heb. are not)(taken…: Heb. closed up)

24:25 And if [it be] not [so] now 645, who will make 7760 8799 me a liar 3576 8686, and make 7760 8799 my speech 4405 nothing worth 408?
