Job 24

Why are times not laid up by the Almighty?

There are that remove the landmarks;

They drive away the ass of the fatherless;

They turn the needy out of the way:

Behold, as wild asses in the desert

They cut their provender in the field;

They lie all night naked without clothing,

They are wet with the showers of the mountains,

There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast,

So that they go about naked without clothing,

They make oil within the walls of these men;

From out of the populous city men groan,

These are of them that rebel against the light;

The murderer riseth with the light;

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,

In the dark they dig through houses:

For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness;

Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters;

Drought and heat consume the snow waters:

The womb shall forget him;

He devoureth the barren that beareth not,

Yet God preserveth the mighty by his power:

God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon;

They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone;

And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar,
