# Chapter 24
|
|
1. "Since times are not hidden from the Almighty,
|
|
Why do those who know Him see not His days?
|
|
|
|
2. "Some remove landmarks;
|
|
They seize flocks violently and feed on them;
|
|
|
|
3. They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
|
|
They take the widow's ox as a pledge.
|
|
|
|
4. They push the needy off the road;
|
|
All the poor of the land are forced to hide.
|
|
|
|
5. Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert,
|
|
They go out to their work, searching for food.
|
|
The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
|
|
|
|
6. They gather their fodder in the field
|
|
And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
7. They spend the night naked, without clothing,
|
|
And have no covering in the cold.
|
|
|
|
8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
|
|
And huddle around the rock for want of shelter.
|
|
|
|
9. "Some snatch the fatherless from the breast,
|
|
And take a pledge from the poor.
|
|
|
|
10. They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing;
|
|
And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.
|
|
|
|
11. They press out oil within their walls,
|
|
And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
|
|
|
|
12. The dying groan in the city,
|
|
And the souls of the wounded cry out;
|
|
Yet God does not charge them with wrong.
|
|
|
|
13. "There are those who rebel against the light;
|
|
They do not know its ways
|
|
Nor abide in its paths.
|
|
|
|
14. The murderer rises with the light;
|
|
He kills the poor and needy;
|
|
And in the night he is like a thief.
|
|
|
|
15. The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
|
|
Saying, 'No eye will see me';
|
|
And he disguises his face.
|
|
|
|
16. In the dark they break into houses
|
|
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
|
|
They do not know the light.
|
|
|
|
17. For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
|
|
If someone recognizes them,
|
|
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
|
|
|
|
18. "They should be swift on the face of the waters,
|
|
Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
|
|
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
|
|
|
|
19. As drought and heat consume the snow waters,
|
|
So the grave consumes those who have sinned.
|
|
|
|
20. The womb should forget him,
|
|
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
|
|
He should be remembered no more,
|
|
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
|
|
|
|
21. For he preys on the barren who do not bear,
|
|
And does no good for the widow.
|
|
|
|
22. "But God draws the mighty away with His power;
|
|
He rises up, but no man is sure of life.
|
|
|
|
23. He gives them security, and they rely on it;
|
|
Yet His eyes are on their ways.
|
|
|
|
24. They are exalted for a little while,
|
|
Then they are gone.
|
|
They are brought low;
|
|
They are taken out of the way like all others;
|
|
They dry out like the heads of grain.
|
|
|
|
25. "Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar,
|
|
And make my speech worth nothing?"
|
