[2 ](/kjv/job/24/2) *Some* remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed *thereof*.* [3 ](/kjv/job/24/3) They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge. [4 ](/kjv/job/24/4) They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. [5 ](/kjv/job/24/5) Behold, *as* wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness *yieldeth* food for them *and* for *their* children. [6 ](/kjv/job/24/6) They reap *every one* his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.** [7 ](/kjv/job/24/7) They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that *they have* no covering in the cold. [8 ](/kjv/job/24/8) They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. [9 ](/kjv/job/24/9) They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. [10 ](/kjv/job/24/10) They cause *him* to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf *from* the hungry; [11 ](/kjv/job/24/11) *Which* make oil within their walls, *and* tread *their* winepresses, and suffer thirst. [12 ](/kjv/job/24/12) Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly *to them*. [13 ](/kjv/job/24/13) They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. [14 ](/kjv/job/24/14) The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. [15 ](/kjv/job/24/15) The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth *his* face.* [16 ](/kjv/job/24/16) In the dark they dig through houses, *which* they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. [17 ](/kjv/job/24/17) For the morning *is* to them even as the shadow of death: if *one* know *them, they are in* the terrors of the shadow of death. [18 ](/kjv/job/24/18) He *is* swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. [19 ](/kjv/job/24/19) Drought and heat consume the snow waters: *so doth* the grave *those which* have sinned.* [20 ](/kjv/job/24/20) The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. [21 ](/kjv/job/24/21) He evil entreateth the barren *that* beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. [22 ](/kjv/job/24/22) He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no *man* is sure of life.* [23 ](/kjv/job/24/23) *Though* it be given him *to be* in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes *are* upon their ways. [24 ](/kjv/job/24/24) They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all *other*, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.** [25 ](/kjv/job/24/25) And if *it be* not *so* now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
