Job 24:11-12
Job 24:11-12 New International Version (NIV)
They crush olives among the terraces; they tread the winepresses, yet suffer thirst. The groans of the dying rise from the city, and the souls of the wounded cry out for help. But God charges no one with wrongdoing.
Job 24:11-12 New King James Version (NKJV)
They press out oil within their walls, And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst. The dying groan in the city, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not charge them with wrong.
Job 24:11-12 New Living Translation (NLT)
They press out olive oil without being allowed to taste it, and they tread in the winepress as they suffer from thirst. The groans of the dying rise from the city, and the wounded cry for help, yet God ignores their moaning.
Job 24:1-12 The Message (MSG)
“But if Judgment Day isn’t hidden from the Almighty, why are we kept in the dark? There are people out there getting by with murder— stealing and lying and cheating. They rip off the poor and exploit the unfortunate, Push the helpless into the ditch, bully the weak so that they fear for their lives. The poor, like stray dogs and cats, scavenge for food in back alleys. They sort through the garbage of the rich, eke out survival on handouts. Homeless, they shiver through cold nights on the street; they’ve no place to lay their heads. Exposed to the weather, wet and frozen, they huddle in makeshift shelters. Nursing mothers have their babies snatched from them; the infants of the poor are kidnapped and sold. They go about patched and threadbare; even the hard workers go hungry. No matter how backbreaking their labor, they can never make ends meet. People are dying right and left, groaning in torment. The wretched cry out for help and God does nothing, acts like nothing’s wrong!
Job 24:11-12 King James Version (KJV)
Which make oil within their walls, And tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. Men groan from out of the city, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God layeth not folly to them.
Job 24:11-12 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Within the walls they produce oil; They tread wine presses but thirst. From the city men groan, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not pay attention to folly.
Job 24:11-12 New Century Version (NCV)
they crush olives to get oil and grapes to get wine, but they still go thirsty. Dying people groan in the city, and the injured cry out for help, but God accuses no one of doing wrong.
Job 24:11-12 American Standard Version (ASV)
They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst. From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.
Job 24:11-12 Amplified Bible (AMP)
“Within the walls [of the wicked] the poor make [olive] oil; They tread [the grapes in] the wine presses, but thirst. “From the [populous and crowded] city men groan, And the souls of the wounded cry out for help; Yet God [seemingly] does not pay attention to the wrong [done to them].
