Job 24 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“Why ^H4069 are [fn]times ^H6256 not stored ^H6845 up ^H6845 by the Almighty ^H7706,

And why do those who know ^H3045 Him not see ^H2372 His [fn]days ^H3117?

“People remove ^H5472 landmarks ^H1367;

They seize ^H1497 and [fn]devour ^H7462 flocks ^H5739.

“They drive ^H5090 away ^H5090 the donkeys ^H2543 of orphans ^H3490;

They seize ^H2254 the widow’s ^H490 ox ^H7794 as ^H2254 a ^H2254 pledge ^H2254.

“They push ^H5186 the needy ^H34 aside ^H5186 from the road ^H1870;

The poor ^H6041 of the land ^H776 have to hide ^H2244 themselves together ^H3162.

“Behold ^H2005, like wild ^H6501 donkeys ^H6501 in the wilderness ^H4057

They go ^H3318 out ^H3318 scavenging ^H7836 for food ^H2964 in their activity ^H6467,

As [fn]bread ^H3899 for their children ^H5288 in the desert ^H6160.

“They harvest ^H7114 their feed ^H1098 in the field ^H7704

And glean ^H3953 the vineyard ^H3754 of the wicked ^H7563.

“They spend ^H3885 the ^H3885 night ^H3885 naked ^H6174, without ^H1097 clothing ^H3830,

And have ^H369 no ^H369 covering ^H3682 against the cold ^H7135.

“They are wet ^H7372 from the mountain ^H2022 rains ^H2230,

And they hug ^H2263 the rock ^H6697 for lack ^H1097 of a shelter ^H4268.

“Others snatch ^H1497 an orphan ^H3490 from the breast ^H7699,

And they seize ^H2254 it as ^H2254 a ^H2254 pledge ^H2254 against ^H5921 the poor ^H6041.

“The poor move ^H1980 about ^H1980 naked ^H6174 without ^H1097 clothing ^H3830,

And they carry ^H5375 sheaves ^H6016, while going hungry ^H7457.

“Within ^H996 the walls ^H7791 they produce ^H6671 oil ^H6671;

They tread ^H1869 wine ^H3342 presses ^H3342 but go ^H6770 thirsty ^H6770.

“From the city ^H5892 people ^H4962 groan ^H5008,

And the souls ^H5315 of the wounded ^H2491 cry ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768;

Yet God ^H433 does not pay ^H7760 attention ^H7760 to the offensiveness ^H8604.

“[fn]Others ^H1992 have been ^H1961 with those who rebel ^H4775 against the light ^H216;

They do not want ^H5234 to ^H5234 know ^H5234 its ways ^H1870

Nor ^H3808 stay ^H3427 in its paths ^H5410.

“The murderer ^H7523 arises ^H6965 at dawn ^H216;

He kills ^H6991 the poor ^H6041 and the needy ^H34,

And at night ^H3915 he is like a thief ^H1590.

“The eye ^H5869 of the adulterer ^H5003 watches ^H8104 for [fn]twilight ^H5399,

Saying ^H559, ‘No ^H3808 eye ^H5869 will see ^H7789 me.’

And he [fn]disguises ^H7760 H5643 his face ^H6440.

“In the darkness ^H2822 they dig ^H2864 into houses ^H1004,

They shut ^H2856 themselves up ^H2856 by day ^H3119;

They do not know ^H3045 the light ^H216.

“For the morning ^H1242 is the same ^H3162 to him as thick ^H6757 darkness ^H6757,

For he is ^H5234 familiar ^H5234 with the terrors ^H1091 of thick ^H6757 darkness ^H6757.

“They are [fn]insignificant ^H7031 on the surface ^H6440 of the water ^H4325;

Their plot ^H2513 of ^H2513 land ^H2513 on the earth ^H776 is cursed ^H7043.

They do not turn ^H6437 [fn]toward ^H1870 the vineyards ^H3754.

“Dryness ^H6723 and heat ^H2527 snatch ^H1497 away ^H1497 the snow ^H7950 waters ^H4325,

As [fn]Sheol ^H7585 snatches those who have sinned ^H2398.

“A [fn]mother ^H7358 will forget ^H7911 him;

The maggot ^H7415 feeds ^H4985 sweetly ^H4985 until he is no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 remembered ^H2142.

And injustice ^H5766 will be broken ^H7665 like a tree ^H6086.

“He wrongs ^H7489 the [fn]infertile ^H6135 woman ^H6135,

And does ^H3190 no ^H3808 good ^H3190 for the widow ^H490.

“But He drags ^H4900 off the mighty ^H47 by His power ^H3581;

He rises ^H6965, but no ^H3808 one has ^H539 assurance ^H539 of life ^H2416.

“He provides ^H5414 them with security ^H983, and they are supported ^H8172;

And His eyes ^H5869 are on their ways ^H1870.

“They are exalted ^H7426 a little ^H4592 while ^H4592, then they are ^H369 gone ^H369;

Moreover, they are brought ^H4355 low ^H4355, and like everything ^H3605 they are gathered ^H7092 up;

Like the heads ^H7218 of grain ^H7641 they wither ^H4448.

“Now if ^H518 it is not so ^H645, who ^H4310 can prove ^H3576 me a ^H3576 liar ^H3576,

And make ^H7760 my speech ^H4405 worthless ^H408?”
