Job 24:2-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
2
People
remove landmarks;
They seize and devour flocks.
3
They drive away the donkeys of orphans;
They seize the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4
They push the needy aside from the road;
The poor of the land have to hide themselves together.
5
Behold,
like
wild donkeys in the wilderness
They go out scavenging for food in their activity,
As bread for
their
children in the desert.
6
They harvest their feed in the field
And glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7
They spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering against the cold.
8
They are wet from the mountain rains,
And they hug the rock for lack of a shelter.
9
Others
snatch an orphan from the breast,
And they seize
it
as a pledge against the poor.
10
The poor
move about naked without clothing,
And they carry sheaves,
while going
hungry.
11
Within the walls they produce oil;
They tread wine presses but go thirsty.
12
From the city people groan,
And the souls of the wounded cry for help;
Yet God does not pay attention to the offensiveness.
13
'Others have been with those who rebel against the light;
They do not want to know its ways
Nor stay in its paths.
14
The murderer arises at dawn;
He kills the poor and the needy,
And at night he is like a thief.
15
The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight,
Saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
And he disguises his face.
16
In the darkness they dig into houses,
They shut themselves up by day;
They do not know the light.
17
For the morning is the same to him as thick darkness,
For he is familiar with the terrors of thick darkness.
King James Version
Chapter 24
2
Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3
They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4
They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
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
They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11
Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14
The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16
In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
2
The wicked displace boundary markers.
They steal a flock and provide pasture for it.
3
They drive away the donkeys owned by the fatherless
and take the widow’s ox as collateral.
4
They push the needy off the road;
the poor of the land are forced into hiding.
5
Like wild donkeys in the wilderness,
the poor go out to their task of foraging for food;
the desert provides nourishment for their children.
6
They gather their fodder in the field
and glean the vineyards of the wicked.
7
Without clothing, they spend the night naked,
having no covering against the cold.
8
Drenched by mountain rains,
they huddle against the rocks, shelterless.
9
The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast;
the nursing child of the poor is seized as collateral.
10
Without clothing, they wander about naked.
They carry sheaves but go hungry.
11
They crush olives in their presses;
they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
12
From the city, men groan;
the mortally wounded cry for help,
yet God pays no attention to this crime.
13
The wicked are those who rebel against the light.
They do not recognize its ways
or stay on its paths.
14
The murderer rises at dawn
to kill the poor and needy,
and by night he becomes a thief.
15
The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,
thinking, "No eye will see me,"
and he covers his face.
16
In the dark they break into houses;
by day they lock themselves in,
never experiencing the light.
17
For the morning is like darkness to them.
Surely they are familiar with the terrors of darkness!
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
2
Evil people steal land by moving the boundary markers.
They steal livestock and put them in their own pastures.
3
They take the orphan’s donkey
and demand the widow’s ox as security for a loan.
4
The poor are pushed off the path;
the needy must hide together for safety.
5
Like wild donkeys in the wilderness,
the poor must spend all their time looking for food,
searching even in the desert for food for their children.
6
They harvest a field they do not own,
and they glean in the vineyards of the wicked.
7
All night they lie naked in the cold,
without clothing or covering.
8
They are soaked by mountain showers,
and they huddle against the rocks for want of a home.
9
'The wicked snatch a widow’s child from her breast,
taking the baby as security for a loan.
10
The poor must go about naked, without any clothing.
They harvest food for others while they themselves are starving.
11
They press out olive oil without being allowed to taste it,
and they tread in the winepress as they suffer from thirst.
12
The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the wounded cry for help,
yet God ignores their moaning.
13
'Wicked people rebel against the light.
They refuse to acknowledge its ways
or stay in its paths.
14
The murderer rises in the early dawn
to kill the poor and needy;
at night he is a thief.
15
The adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No one will see me then.’
He hides his face so no one will know him.
16
Thieves break into houses at night
and sleep in the daytime.
They are not acquainted with the light.
17
The black night is their morning.
They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.
English Standard Version
Chapter 24
2
Some move landmarks;
they seize flocks and pasture them.
3
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
they take the widow 's ox for a pledge.
4
They thrust the poor off the road;
the poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5
Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
the poor go out to their toil, seeking game;
the wasteland yields food for their children.
6
They gather their fodder in the field,
and they glean the vineyard of the wicked man.
7
They lie all night naked, without clothing,
and have no covering in the cold.
8
They are wet with the rain of the mountains
and cling to the rock for lack of shelter.
9
(There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast,
and they take a pledge against the poor.)
10
They go about naked, without clothing;
hungry, they carry the sheaves;
11
among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil;
they tread the winepresses, but suffer thirst.
12
From out of the city the dying groan,
and the soul of the wounded cries for help;
yet God charges no one with wrong.
13
"There are those who rebel against the light,
who are not acquainted with its ways,
and do not stay in its paths.
14
The murderer rises before it is light,
that he may kill the poor and needy,
and in the night he is like a thief.
15
The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
and he veils his face.
16
In the dark they dig through houses;
by day they shut themselves up;
they do not know the light.
17
For deep darkness is morning to all of them;
for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.
New International Version
Chapter 24
2
There are those who move boundary stones;
they pasture flocks they have stolen.
3
They drive away the orphan’s donkey
and take the widow’s ox in pledge.
4
They thrust the needy from the path
and force all the poor of the land into hiding.
5
Like wild donkeys in the desert,
the poor go about their labor of foraging food;
the wasteland provides food for their children.
6
They gather fodder in the fields
and glean in the vineyards of the wicked.
7
Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.
8
They are drenched by mountain rains
and hug the rocks for lack of shelter.
9
The fatherless child is snatched from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized for a debt.
10
Lacking clothes, they go about naked;
they carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
11
They crush olives among the terraces ;
they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
12
The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.
But God charges no one with wrongdoing.
13
"There are those who rebel against the light,
who do not know its ways
or stay in its paths.
14
When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
kills the poor and needy,
and in the night steals forth like a thief.
15
The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk;
he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’
and he keeps his face concealed.
16
In the dark, thieves break into houses,
but by day they shut themselves in;
they want nothing to do with the light.
17
For all of them, midnight is their morning;
they make friends with the terrors of darkness.
New King James Version
Chapter 24
2
“
Some
remove landmarks;
They seize flocks violently and feed
on them;
3
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
They take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4
They push the needy off the road;
All the poor of the land are forced to hide.
5
Indeed,
like
wild donkeys in the desert,
They go out to their work, searching for food.
The wilderness
yields
food for them
and
for
their
children.
6
They gather their fodder in the field
And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
7
They spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
8
They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
And huddle around the rock for want of shelter.
9
“
Some
snatch the fatherless from the breast,
And take a pledge from the poor.
10
They cause
the poor
to go naked, without clothing;
And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.
11
They press out oil within their walls,
And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
12
The dying groan in the city,
And the souls of the wounded cry out;
Yet God does not charge
them
with wrong.
13
“There are those who rebel against the light;
They do not know its ways
Nor abide in its paths.
14
The murderer rises with the light;
He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
15
The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
Saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
And he disguises
his
face.
16
In the dark they break into houses
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
They do not know the light.
17
For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If
someone
recognizes
them,
They are in
the terrors of the shadow of death.
