Job Chapter 24

Job 24

Job seventh reaction continues... 

1 How does the overpowering bully one (shadday) envision the time and know the hidden things of the day?

2 IT plunders/robs by feeding flocks which has reached the border/boundary, 

3 IT carries away the donkeys of orphans and pledges with the bullock of a widow;

4 IT has bent away from the way, - and secretly hide in the land of the poor and the afflicted altogether;

5 as IT gets up at dawn, fresh-prey of wild-cows from the desert and wilderness are the food that come forth for its children by ITS action. 

6 the wicked ones dock off/harvest mixed-mashes/fodders in vineyards, instead of left-over stalk of crops on the farm. 

7 anywhere they stop to lodge, during the cold, their coverings are the garments for the naked ones.

8 they are wet with streams from mountain, and embrace sharp-rock for a shelter;

9 they rope/pledge with the orphans they snatch from the breast of the poor/afflicted. 

10 they walk around lifting up sheaves/omer of the hungry ones, even with garments for the naked-ones. 

11 when thirsty, at noon, they tread wine-press, dug out in between walls;

12 Adults in the city, groan and cry out for help - unto the Extremely Mighty God (Eloah eloah) because they put insipid things/quagmire in their space:

13 they are with a light on a road they are unfamiliar with and sit down in routes to revolt/rebel;

14 they rise up with a light as thief in the night, and murder the afflicted and the needy,

15 they put their eyes over the walls at dawn, saying, we will keep our eyes on the faces of the adulterers, even in their hidden place.

16 they seal/mark a house during the day, to know which one to dig a passage through in the darkness, with their light. 

17 morning is altogether like shadow of death to the timid ones, even though they are unfamiliar with the shadow of death.

18 When they turn (their faces) to the way unto portions of vineyards; they are swift on the surface of water - because they make light/trifle with land. 

19 as heat dry up water from snow, even sheol/hades is robbing/plundering those who have sinned;

20 when they mislay breaking up of trees, and remember the sweetness of wombs that breed/raise them up for iniquities, - 

21 - they make it good for a widow, by feeding her to bear child, rather than a barren;

22 when a knight/mighty-man rise up in his strength, - the living-beings will believe in him and be drawn to him. 

23 because he can give security to all eyes that lean on him on the way. 

24 at least, from this, if exalted as the head master, in a short while, he will jump into the way of those who have been cutting the ears of their grains (shibboleth).

25 but here now, they are put as human leader, and they are lying by their words.
