Job 24:23 — Meaning and Application

He evil entreateth the barren {that} beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no {man} is sure of life. {no...: or, he trusteth not his own life}

{Though} it be given him {to be} in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes {are} upon their ways.

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. {are gone: Heb. are not} {taken...: Heb. closed up}

And if {it be} not {so} now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
