Job 24

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Why are not times set by the Almighty, and why do his friends not see his days?	1 δια τι δε κυριον ελαθον ωραι
2 The wicked remove landmarks; they steal away herds and pasture them.	2 ασεβεις δε οριον υπερεβησαν ποιμνιον συν ποιμενι αρπασαντες
3 The asses of orphans they drive away; they take the widow's ox for a pledge.	3 υποζυγιον ορφανων απηγαγον και βουν χηρας ηνεχυρασαν
4 They force the needy off the road; all the poor of the land are driven into hiding.	4 εξεκλιναν αδυνατους εξ οδου δικαιας ομοθυμαδον εκρυβησαν πραεις γης
5 Like wild asses in the desert, these go forth to their task of seeking food; The steppe provides food for the young among them;	5 απεβησαν δε ωσπερ ονοι εν αγρω υπερ εμου εξελθοντες την εαυτων πραξιν ηδυνθη αυτω αρτος εις νεωτερους
6 they harvest at night in the untilled land.	6 αγρον προ ωρας ουκ αυτων οντα εθερισαν αδυνατοι δε αμπελωνας ασεβων αμισθι και ασιτι ηργασαντο
7 They pass the night naked, without clothing, for they have no covering against the cold;	7 γυμνους πολλους εκοιμισαν ανευ ιματιων αμφιασιν δε ψυχης αυτων αφειλαντο
8 They are drenched with the rain of the mountains, and for want of shelter they cling to the rock.	8 απο ψεκαδων ορεων υγραινονται παρα το μη εχειν αυτους σκεπην πετραν περιεβαλοντο
	9 ηρπασαν ορφανον απο μαστου εκπεπτωκοτα δε εταπεινωσαν
10 and famished are those who carry the sheaves.	10 γυμνους δε εκοιμισαν αδικως πεινωντων δε τον ψωμον αφειλαντο
11 Between the rows they press out the oil; they glean in the the vineyard of the wicked. They tread the wine presses, yet suffer thirst,	11 εν στενοις αδικως ενηδρευσαν οδον δε δικαιαν ουκ ηδεισαν
12 From the dust the dying groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out (yet God does not treat it as unseemly).	12 οι εκ πολεως και οικων ιδιων εξεβαλλοντο ψυχη δε νηπιων εστεναξεν μεγα αυτος δε δια τι τουτων επισκοπην ου πεποιηται
13 There are those who are rebels against the light; they know not its ways; they abide not in its paths.	13 επι γης οντων αυτων και ουκ επεγνωσαν οδον δε δικαιοσυνης ουκ ηδεισαν ουδε ατραπους αυτης επορευθησαν
14 When there is no light the murderer rises, to kill the poor and needy.	14 γνους δε αυτων τα εργα παρεδωκεν αυτους εις σκοτος και νυκτος εσται ως κλεπτης
15 The eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight; he says, "No eye will see me." In the night the thief roams about, and he puts a mask over his face;	15 και οφθαλμος μοιχου εφυλαξεν σκοτος λεγων ου προσνοησει με οφθαλμος και αποκρυβην προσωπου εθετο
16 in the dark he breaks into houses. By day they shut themselves in; none of them know the light,	16 διωρυξεν εν σκοτει οικιας ημερας εσφραγισαν εαυτους ουκ επεγνωσαν φως
17 for daylight they regard as darkness.	17 οτι ομοθυμαδον το πρωι αυτοις σκια θανατου οτι επιγνωσεται ταραχας σκιας θανατου
18 Their portion in the land is accursed,	18 ελαφρος εστιν επι προσωπον υδατος καταραθειη η μερις αυτων επι γης
	19 αναφανειη δε τα φυτα αυτων επι γης ξηρα αγκαλιδα γαρ ορφανων ηρπασαν
20 and wickedness is splintered like wood.	20 ειτ' ανεμνησθη αυτου η αμαρτια ωσπερ δε ομιχλη δροσου αφανης εγενετο αποδοθειη δε αυτω α επραξεν συντριβειη δε πας αδικος ισα ξυλω ανιατω
	21 στειραν γαρ ουκ ευ εποιησεν και γυναιον ουκ ηλεησεν
22 To him who rises without assurance of his life	22 θυμω δε κατεστρεψεν αδυνατους αναστας τοιγαρουν ου μη πιστευση κατα της εαυτου ζωης
23 he gives safety and support. He sustains the mighty by his strength, and his eyes are on their ways.	23 μαλακισθεις μη ελπιζετω υγιασθηναι αλλα πεσειται νοσω
24 They are exalted for a while, and then they are gone; they are laid low and, like all others, are gathered up; like ears of grain they shrivel.	24 πολλους γαρ εκακωσεν το υψωμα αυτου εμαρανθη δε ωσπερ μολοχη εν καυματι η ωσπερ σταχυς απο καλαμης αυτοματος αποπεσων
25 If this be not so, who will confute me, and reduce my argument to nought?	25 ει δε μη τις εστιν ο φαμενος ψευδη με λεγειν και θησει εις ουδεν τα ρηματα μου
