Job 24:6-21 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.

7. They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:

8. Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.

9. They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.

10. From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.

11. They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.

12. Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.

13. They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his paths.

14. The murderer riseth at the very break of day, he killeth the needy, and the poor man: but in the night he will be as a thief.

15. The eye of the adulterer observeth darkness, saying: No eye shall see me: and he will cover his face.

16. He diggeth through houses in the dark, as in the day they had appointed for themselves, and they have not known the light.

17. If the morning suddenly appear, it is to them the shadow of death: and they walk in darkness as if it were in light.

18. He is light upon the face of the water: cursed be his portion on the earth, let him not walk by the way of the vineyards.

19. Let him pass from the snow waters to excessive heat, and his sin even to hell.

20. Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness: let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree.

21. For he hath fed the barren that beareth not, and to the widow he hath done no good.
