JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
24 Why doth God not fix seasons for judgment,
And His friends never see His (great) day?
2 The wicked remove the landmarks,
They plunder the flock with the shepherd.
3 They drive off the ass of the fatherless,
Take the ox of the widow in pledge.
4 The poor they turn out of the way,
And the needy must huddle together.
5 See! like the wild asss in the desert,
They roam forth in search of prey;
Their children eat bread of the jungle.
6 They reap the fields in the night-time;
They punder the vines of the wealthy.
7 All night they lie bare, without clothing,
With nothing to keep out of the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the hills,
And the rocks they embrace for a shelter.
9 The fatherless they tear from the breast,
And the babe of the poor take in pledge.
10 They go about bare, without clothing,
And, hungry, they pilfer the sheaves.
11 They press out the oil ’twixt the olive-rows;
The wine-vats they tread and then drain.
12 From cities and homes they are driven;
Their little ones cry out for hunger,
But God takes no heed of the wrong.
13 There are those who rebel against light,
Who recognise not His ways,
But refuse to abide in His paths.
14 In the evening the murderer rises
To butcher the poor and the needy.
The thief stalks abroad in the night.
15 With face muffed up in a veil,
The adulterer watches for twilight,
Assured that no eye can behold him.
16 In the darkness they break into houses;
They shut themselves up in the day-time;
For all of them hate the light.
17 Familiar with gloomy ways,
They seek for themselves the deep darkness,
18 And swiftly they glide on the waters.
His portion of land shall be cursed,
19 Consumed by the drought and the heat,
And flooded away by snow-water.
20 The streets of his place shall forget him,
Shall think of his greatness no more:
Like a dead tree shall he be uprooted.
21 For he did not good to the widow,
No pity he showed to her babe;
22 And his power swept the helpless away.
Vengeance falls: he expects not to live,
23 He is hurled beyond hope of recovery;
The tormentor is on his way.
24 His greatness is brief – he is gone;
Like the mallow he bends, he shrivels–
Cut down like the top ears of corn.
25 And if not, who will prove me a liar,
And reduce mine indictment to nothing?
