Job 24:10-25
-
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
-
11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
-
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
-
13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
-
14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
-
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
-
16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
-
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
-
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
-
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
-
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
-
21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
-
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
-
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
-
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
-
25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
