Job 24:12-22 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

12. From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God imputeth it not for folly.

13. These are of them that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

14. The murderer riseth with the light, he killeth the poor and needy; and in the night he is as a thief.

15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and he disguiseth his face.

16. In the dark they dig through houses: they shut themselves up in the daytime; they know not the light.

17. For the morning is to all of them as the shadow of death; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death.

18. He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he turneth not by the way of the vineyards.

19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth Sheol those which have sinned.

20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered: and unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.

21. He devoureth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the widow.

22. He draweth away the mighty also by his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
