18:024:004 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together. 18:024:005 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. 18:024:006 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 18:024:007 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. 18:024:008 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 18:024:009 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 18:024:010 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; 18:024:011 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. 18:024:012 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them. 18:024:013 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 18:024:014 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 18:024:015 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face. 18:024:016 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. 18:024:017 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. 18:024:018 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. 18:024:019 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. 18:024:020 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 18:024:021 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 18:024:022 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. 18:024:023 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. 18:024:024 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. 18:024:025 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth? 18:025:001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 18:025:002 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
