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. 

Job Chapter 25

Job 25

Third submission by a friend, Bilhad 

1 Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,

2 those who are ruling in elevated places has created sudden alarm, instead of prosperous-peace.

3 why there exist a number of them among the soldiers/troops? How will light rise up?

4 How can a mortal-man be justified before his main-leader (el)? How can a woman that just born a child be pure?

5 Moon is pure to the eyes because it tents/resides beside the stars. 

6 so, how could a mortal-man, who was a son of Adam be? How could he, who will breed/raised up voracious-worms be? 

Job Chapter 26

Job 26

Job's eighth reaction 

1 Job answered and said,

2 how will you help without strength? Who will save any from an arm with great-strength?

3 How will you counsel without knowing the resourcefulness (to substatiate) your wisdom in abundance?

4 how would you boldly declare WORDS, as if it is just like breath that comes out from you? 

5 as if IT is like a whirling wraith/ghost that reside in water.

6 - it is a doom/perdition, for those with garments/coats to be naked in sheol/hades.

7 - they tilted away to hidden-north, void/formless on earth, hanging on nothing (whatsoever). 

8 even a sieged water in a thick-cloud are being ripped open of the clouds.

9 and things caught in the cloud will be parsed/separated to its components in the face of the ONE on the THRONE.

10 the ultimate aim of HIS statutes/decrees is for light from the space-orbits to be on the of faces of dark places and on the waters:

11 the scolding/rebuke (of Bilhad in Ch 25) is astonishing to me. It was like the pillars of heaven is about to be triturated/grinded into powder. 

12 - - there was an excessive self-confidence/arrogance (rahab) in your insight/comprehension, as though you could suddenly crush the strength of the sea.

13 The beauty of the HAND from the SPIRIT is that HE can whirl the sky and serpent will suddenly flee/dash away. 

14 Who can understand a little/iota of HIS prowess/gallantry (geburah)?

At the tail-end of the road, there will be a spoken-word which will be heard through a peal/rumble of thunder. (Note: this response will start from chapter 38).
