Job 24

1Why are times for judging wicked people not set by the Almighty? 2There are wicked people who remove boundary markers; 3They drive away the donkey of those without fathers; 4They force needy people out of their path; 5See, these poor people go out to their work 6Poor people reap in the night in other people's fields; 7They lie naked all night without clothing; 8They are wet with the showers of the mountains; 9There are wicked people who pluck orphans from their mothers' breast, 10But the poor people go about naked without clothing; 11The poor people make oil within the walls of those wicked men; 12From out of the city the dying groan, 13Some of these wicked people rebel against the light; 14Before daylight the murderer rises 15Also, the eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight; 16In the darkness wicked people dig into houses; 17For all of them, thick darkness is like the morning; 18Swiftly they pass away, however, like foam on the surface of the waters; 19As drought and heat melt away the snow into waters, 20The womb that bore him will forget him; 21The wicked one devours the barren women who have not borne children; 22Yet God drags away the mighty people by his power; 23God allows them to think they are secure, and they are happy about that, 24These people are exalted; still, in only a little while, they will be gone;
