Job 24:23 Context
21He euill intreateth the barren, that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth vp, and no man is sure of life. 23Though it be giuen him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are vpon their wayes. 24They are exalted for a litle while, but are gone and brought low, they are taken out of the way as al other, and cut off as the tops of the eares of corne. 25And if it be not so now, who will make mee a liar, and make my speach nothing worth?
