Job Tells of the Wickedness of Some

Job 24:1-25                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

[Since] times aren't hidden from the Almighty, Why do [those who] know Him not see [God’s] days? [1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 But [about] the times, & seasons,, you have no need that I write to you, brethren. For, [you,] yourselves, know perfectly [well] that the Day of the Lord, comes [like] a thief in the night.

For when they shall say, Peace & safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, & they won't escape, [like labor pains] upon a woman [delivering a] child. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, [so] that day should overtake you [like] a thief.]

Some remove the landmarks. They violently [steal] flocks, & [eat from them.] [Hosea 5:10 The princes of Judah were like [those who] remove the [boundary markers.] Therefore, I will pour out My [anger] on them like water.]

They drive away the [donkeys] of the fatherless, & they take the widow's ox for a pledge, [a.k.a. collateral.] They turn the needy out of the [road.] The poor of the earth hide themselves together.

[See, like] wild [donkeys] in the desert, they go [out] to their work, rising [early] [to search before hand] for prey. The wilderness [produces] food for them, & for their children. Everyone [harvests] his corn in the field, & they gather the [wine] of the wicked.

They [make] the naked to lodge without clothing, [so] that they have no covering in the cold. They are wet with the [mountain] showers, & [huddle around] the rock for [lack] of shelter. They pluck [away the nursing babies of] the fatherless, & [require] a pledge, [a.k.a. collateral for repayment, from] the poor.

[Leviticus 25:35-37 And if your brother with you, [grows] poor, & [falls into decline,] then you shall relieve him. [Yet, although] he is a stranger, or a [wanderer,] that he may live with you [there.] You take no [interest] from him, or [profit,] but fear, [a.k.a. respect, for] your God; [so] that your brother may live with you. You shall not give him your money [with interest,] nor lend him your [food for profit.]

They cause him to go naked without clothing, & they take away the sheaf [of wheat,] from the hungry; [who] make oil within their walls, & [trample] their wine presses, & [allow them to] thirst.

Men groan from [outside] the city, & the wounded [person cries] out. [Still,] God [doesn't] [charge] them [with] folly. [These] are those [who] rebel against the Light. They [don't] know [its] ways, nor [do they] [remain] in [its] paths.

[1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the Light, [like] He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, & the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.]

The murderer [who] [rises] [at daybreak,] & [kills] the poor & needy, & is [like] a thief in the night. Also, the eye of [the person who] [commits adultery, waits] for twilight, saying, No [one] shall see me, & [disguises] his face.

In the dark, they dig through [the possessions within] houses, [that] they had [targeted during] the daytime for themselves, [because] they [don't] know the Light.

[John 3:18-21 He, [who believes in] Him is not condemned, but he, [who doesn't  believe] is already condemned, because he [hasn't] believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that Light [has] come into the world, & men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone [who does] evil, [hates] the Light, & neither [does he] [come] to the Light, lest his deeds should be [sharply criticized.] But he, [who does] [according to the] Truth, [comes] to the Light, [so] that his deeds may  be made [visible, &] that they are [brought about through] God.]

For them, the morning is even [like] the shadow of death. If [someone knows] them, they are [terrified,] [like of] the shadow of death. He is swift [like] the waters, & their portion [of their inheritance] in the earth is cursed.

He [doesn't see] the [road to] the vineyards. Drought & heat [make] the snow waters [evaporate, & disappear.] [Also,] the grave [does] [the same to those] [who] have sinned. The womb [that gave birth to him,] shall forget him, & the worm, shall feed sweetly on him.

And  [because of] wickedness, he shall be broken [like] a tree, & shall no [longer] be remembered. [Job 18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, & he shall have no [one who remembers his] name in the street.]

He, [who is] evil [preys upon] the barren, [a.k.a. unable to have children,] & [doesn't] [do what's] good to the widow. [God] also [takes away] the mighty with his power. He [rises] up, & no [man's] life is [certain.] [Although] safety [is] given to him, [upon which] he [rests, still God's] eyes are upon their ways.

They are exalted for a little while, [then are] brought low, & are gone. They are taken out of the [path like] all [the others,] & cut off [like] the tops of the ears of corn. And if it [isn't] so, who will [prove] me a liar, & make my speech [worthless?]
