24:1 "Why
are
not
times
of
judgment
kept
by
the
Almighty,
and
why
do
those
who
know
him
never
see
his
days
24:2 Some
move
landmarks;
they
seize
flocks
and
pasture
them.
24:3 They
drive
away
the
donkey
of
the
fatherless;
they
take
the
widow's
ox
for
a
pledge.
24:4 They
thrust
the
poor
off
the
road;
the
poor
of
the
earth
all
hide
themselves.
24:5 Behold,
like
wild
donkeys
in
the
desert
the
poor
go
out
to
their
toil,
seeking
game;
the
wasteland
yields
food
for
their
children.
24:6 They
gather
their
fodder
in
the
field,
and
they
glean
the
vineyard
of
the
wicked
man.
24:7 They
lie
all
night
naked,
without
clothing,
and
have
no
covering
in
the
cold.
24:8 They
are
wet
with
the
rain
of
the
mountains
and
cling
to
the
rock
for
lack
of
shelter.
24:9 (There
are
those
who
snatch
the
fatherless
child
from
the
breast,
and
they
take
a
pledge
against
the
poor.)
24:10 They
go
about
naked,
without
clothing;
hungry,
they
carry
the
sheaves;
24:11 among
the
olive
rows
of
the
wicked
they
make
oil;
they
tread
the
winepresses,
but
suffer
thirst.
24:12 From
out
of
the
city
the
dying
groan,
and
the
soul
of
the
wounded
cries
for
help;
yet
God
charges
no
one
with
wrong.
24:13 "There
are
those
who
rebel
against
the
light,
who
are
not
acquainted
with
its
ways,
and
do
not
stay
in
its
paths.
24:14 The
murderer
rises
before
it
is
light,
that
he
may
kill
the
poor
and
needy,
and
in
the
night
he
is
like
a
thief.
24:15 The
eye
of
the
adulterer
also
waits
for
the
twilight,
saying,
'No
eye
will
see
me';
and
he
veils
his
face.
24:16 In
the
dark
they
dig
through
houses;
by
day
they
shut
themselves
up;
they
do
not
know
the
light.
24:17 For
deep
darkness
is
morning
to
all
of
them;
for
they
are
friends
with
the
terrors
of
deep
darkness.
24:18 "You
say,
'Swift
are
they
on
the
face
of
the
waters;
their
portion
is
cursed
in
the
land;
no
treader
turns
toward
their
vineyards.
24:19 Drought
and
heat
snatch
away
the
snow
waters;
so
does
Sheol
those
who
have
sinned.
24:20 The
womb
forgets
them;
the
worm
finds
them
sweet;
they
are
no
longer
remembered,
so
wickedness
is
broken
like
a
tree.'
24:21 "They
wrong
the
barren,
childless
woman,
and
do
no
good
to
the
widow.
24:22 Yet
God
prolongs
the
life
of
the
mighty
by
his
power;
they
rise
up
when
they
despair
of
life.
24:23 He
gives
them
security,
and
they
are
supported,
and
his
eyes
are
upon
their
ways.
24:24 They
are
exalted
a
little
while,
and
then
are
gone;
they
are
brought
low
and
gathered
up
like
all
others;
they
are
cut
off
like
the
heads
of
grain.
24:25 If
it
is
not
so,
who
will
prove
me
a
liar
and
show
that
there
is
nothing
in
what
I
say"
