Job 24
- 1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
- 2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
- 3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
- 4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
- 5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
- 6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
- 7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
- 8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
- 9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
- 10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
- 11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
- 12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded cries out: yet God lays not folly to them.
- 13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
- 14 The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
- 15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguises his face.
- 16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
- 17 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 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholds not the way of the vineyards.
- 19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so does the grave those which have sinned.
- 20 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.
- 21 He evil entreats the barren that bears not: and does not good to the widow.
- 22 He draws also the mighty with his power: he rises up, and no man is sure of life.
- 23 Though it be given him to be in safety, where on he rests; yet his eyes are on their ways.
- 24 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.
- 25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
