Job 24

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 24 of 42

1 ¶ Why since times are not hidden from the Almighty, even those knowing Him do not see His days?

2 They move the landmarks; they seize and pasture flocks;

3 they drive away the ass of orphans; they take the widow's ox for a pledge;

4 they turn the needy ones out of the way; the afflicted ones of the earth have hidden together.
