24 Shaddai should set times when he judges evil people.
The people who obey God never seem to see him judge evil people.
2 Some evil people remove boundary markers so that they can steal other people’s land.
Some evil people steal other people’s sheep and put them in with their own sheep.
3 Some evil people take away donkeys that belong to children who have no fathers to protect them.
They make loans to widows, and then they take oxen that belong to them to guarantee that the widows will pay back the money.
But without the oxen, the widows cannot grow crops, so they cannot repay the loans, and the evil people keep the oxen.
4 Poor people do not want evil people to know where they are, so they do not walk on the main roads.
Poor people stay in hiding places in order to avoid evil people.
5 In fact, poor people have to search in the desert plain for food to feed their children,
as if they were wild donkeys.
6 The poor people pick up leftover grain in other people’s fields.
They gather leftover grapes from vineyards that evil people own.
7 During the night they do not have thick garments to cover their bodies,
so they are not able to stay warm.
8 Poor people have no homes, so when rain showers come from the mountains, they get very wet.
They have to huddle under rock ledges to shelter themselves from the rain.
9 Some evil people even take babies away from their mothers while they are nursing!
They take the babies as a guarantee that their mothers will repay money that they have lent them.
10 Poor people do not have adequate clothing.
They also do not have adequate food,
even though they carry around bundles of grain because they work to bring in other people’s harvests.
11 Evil people hire poor people to make oil from olives that grow on olive trees on their property.
The evil people also hire poor people to tread on grapes that grow on their vines to make juice for wine.
But they do not allow the poor people to drink any of the wine when they are thirsty.
12 In the cities, poor people groan because they are suffering.
People whom evil people have wounded cry out to God for help.
But God does not seem to care about what the evil people are doing to them.
13 These evil people are like others who do not obey God.
They do not try to understand what God wants or to do it.
14 Murderers go out in the dim light of morning so they can kill vulnerable people without being caught.
They are like thieves who steal things in the dark of night in order to avoid being caught.
15 Men who want to commit adultery watch for evening to come.
They say, ‘I am going to make sure that no one recognizes me,’ and they disguise themselves.
16 During the night, robbers find ways to get into other people’s houses and steal things.
But during the day, they stay in their own homes.
They do not like being out where it is light.
17 These evil people all stay at home during the day because morning is as scary for them as the dark of night is for other people.
They stay up at night because they like being awake at night when things happen that terrify others.
18 However, those wicked people will not live long lives.
God will keep anything from growing on the land that they own.
No one will go and work in their vineyards.
19 Just as water from melting snow dries up when it is hot and there is no rain,
those evil people will go to the place where dead people go.
20 When they die, maggots will eat their corpses,
and no one will remember them.
Even their mothers will forget about them!
Those wicked people will be like trees that fall down and rot.
21 Those evil people mistreat women who do not have children to care for them.
Those evil people never help widows.
22 But God, by his power, gets rid of people who hurt others because they are stronger than those others.
When it is clear that God is going to punish those evil people, they know that they are going to die.
23 God allows them to think that they are secure, and so they do not worry,
but God is carefully watching how they live.
24 Those evil people may prosper for a little while,
but suddenly they will be gone.
God will show that they were not greater than others.
God will make them die like all other people.
Then they will be like stalks of grain that farmers have cut off.
25 What I have said is certainly true.
Now that I have explained it,
there is no one who can show that I am a liar
and prove me wrong.”
