Chapter 24

¹“Why are not times of judgment kept by the Almighty, and why do those who know him never see his days? ²Men remove landmarks; they seize flocks and pasture them. ³They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; they take the widow’s ox for a pledge. ⁴They push the needy off the road; the poor of the earth are forced to hide themselves. ⁵Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, scavenging for food; the wilderness yields food for them and for their children. ⁶They reap in a field not their own and glean in the vineyard of the wicked. ⁷They spend the night naked, without clothing, and have no covering in the cold. ⁸They are wet with the showers of the mountains and cling to the rock for lack of shelter. ⁹(There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast, and they take a pledge from the poor.) ¹⁰They go about naked, without clothing; hungry, they carry the sheaves. ¹¹Among the olive rows of the wicked they press oil; they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst. ¹²From out of the city the dying groan, and the soul of the wounded cries for help; yet God charges no one with wrong. ¹³“These are among those who rebel against the light, who are not acquainted with its ways, and do not stay in its paths. ¹⁴The murderer rises before it is light, that he may kill the poor and needy, and in the night he is like a thief. ¹⁵The eye of the adulterer waits for twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me’; and he veils his face. ¹⁶In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves up; they do not know the light. ¹⁷For deep darkness is morning to all of them; for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness. ¹⁸“You say, ‘Swiftly they float away on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed on the earth; they turn toward the vineyards no more. ¹⁹Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters; so does Sheol those who have sinned. ²⁰The womb forgets them; the worm finds them sweet; they are no longer remembered; and injustice is broken like a tree.’ ²¹“They wrong the barren woman who bears no child, and do no good to the widow. ²²Yet God prolongs the life of the mighty by his power; they rise up when they despaired of life. ²³He gives them security, and they are supported, and his eyes are on their ways. ²⁴They 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. ²⁵If it is not so, who will prove me a liar and show that my speech is nothing worth?”
