Job 24 — GMV
24
Verse 1
But why have the seasons been hidden from the Lord,
Verse 2
While the ungodly have passed over the bound,
Verse 3
They have led away the ass of the fatherless,
Verse 4
They have turned aside the weak from the right way:
Verse 5
And they have departed like asses in the field,
Verse 6
They have reaped a field that was not their own before the time:
Verse 7
They have caused many naked to sleep without clothes,
Verse 8
They are wet with the drops of the mountains:
Verse 9
They have snatched the fatherless from the breast,
Verse 10

Verse 11

Verse 12
Who have cast forth the poor from the city and their own houses,
Verse 13

Verse 14
But having known their works, he delivered them into darkness:
Verse 15
And the eye of the adulterer has watched for the darkness,
Verse 16
In darkness he digs through houses:
Verse 17
For the morning is to them all as the shadow of death,
Verse 18

Verse 19

Verse 20

Verse 21
For he has not treated the barren woman well,
Verse 22
And in wrath he has overthrown the helpless:
Verse 23
When he has fallen sick, let him not hope to recover: but let him perish by disease.
Verse 24
For his exaltation has hurt many;
Verse 25
But if not, who is he that says I speak falsely,
