24. Kapitola

Biblia - Sväté písmo

(UKJV - Anglický - Updated King James)

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 early 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 lack 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, whereon he rests; yet his eyes are upon 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?
