RF JOB 24:1 Since Times are not hid from the Almighty,
Why know not His friends His fixed days?
RF JOB 24:2 For there are removers of landmarks,
There are robbers of flocks as they graze;
RF JOB 24:3 They drive from the orphans their ass,
The widow's ox take as a pledge;
RF JOB 24:4 The wretched they turn from their path,
Till the poor of the land herd in troops,
RF JOB 24:5 As wild asses go on the plains.
Their plunder begins at the dawn,
To seize for their followers food;
RF JOB 24:6 They reap in a field not their own,
And with violence pluck off the grapes;
RF JOB 24:7 The naked they leave without clothes
And without any cover from cold,
RF JOB 24:8 So they soak in the rain, from the hills
And shelterless stick to the rock!
RF JOB 24:9 The infant they drag from the breast
And the clothes from the wretched as pledge,
RF JOB 24:10 Who without any covering go bare,
And who hungering carry their sheaves;
RF JOB 24:11 And who, in their barns, press the oil,
And tread out their wine,—but have thirst!
RF JOB 24:12 In the city the murdered may groan,
And the soul of the tortured may roar,
But God pays no heed to their prayer!
RF JOB 24:13 And others revolt from the light,—
Hate His ways nor will stay in His path.
RF JOB 24:14 The murderer detesting the light,
Who slaughters the wretched and poor,
And comes like a thief in the night.
RF JOB 24:15 The adulterer waits for the dark
When he thinks that no eye can observe,
And places a mask on his face.
RF JOB 24:16 With darkness he enters the home
He had marked for himself in the day,
That he dare not approach in the light,
RF JOB 24:17 Fearing dawn, as the shadow of death
For it seems to his terrors like doom.
RF JOB 24:18 You say, "Swiftly he glides down a brook!
His lot will be cursed on the earth;
To his vineyard he never returns;—
RF JOB 24:19 As drought and heat steal the snow-streams,
So will the grave those who sin.
RF JOB 24:20 Reft of love, and devoured by worms
The Villain is always forgot;
And the wicked will break like a stick,
RF JOB 24:21 For they injure the wretch without child,
To the widows they never do good!"
RF JOB 24:22 Yet He1 strengthens the proud in his power,
Lifts him up when he thought not to live,
RF JOB 24:23 And gives to him confident strength,
Tho' His eyes can discover his ways.
RF JOB 24:24 They rise for their time; then depart;
And they curl up when perfectly ripe
And are cut like the ears of the corn!—
RF JOB 24:25 And if not,—let who will refute me
And fling to oblivion my speech?
