Job 24
1.Wickedness often goes unpunished
17.There is a secret judgment for the wicked














The fatherless infant is snatched from the breast;
This phrase highlights the vulnerability of orphans in ancient society. In biblical times, the fatherless were often among the most marginalized and defenseless, lacking a protector or provider. The act of snatching an infant from the breast underscores the cruelty and injustice faced by the weakest members of society. This imagery is consistent with other biblical references to the plight of orphans, such as inExodus 22:22-24, where God commands His people not to mistreat widows or orphans. The act of snatching also reflects a violation of the natural bond between mother and child, emphasizing the heartlessness of those who exploit the vulnerable.

the nursing child of the poor is seized for a debt.
In ancient Near Eastern cultures, debt slavery was a common practice. If a person could not repay a debt, their children could be taken as collateral or sold into servitude. This phrase illustrates the extreme measures creditors would take, even to the point of taking a nursing child, which would have been seen as a particularly egregious act. The Mosaic Law provided protections against such exploitation, as seen inDeuteronomy 24:10-13, which instructs lenders not to take a millstone or any essential item as a pledge. The seizing of a child for debt highlights the systemic injustice and lack of compassion in society, contrasting with the biblical call for mercy and justice. This situation also foreshadows the redemptive work of Christ, who came to set the captives free and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor (Luke 4:18-19), offering hope and restoration to those oppressed by sin and societal injustices.

Lists and Questions
Top 10 Lessons from Job 24

What does the Bible mention about unicorns?

How can Bildad confidently claim (Job 8:2-4) that Job's children must have sinned to deserve death, when other passages suggest righteous people can suffer unjustly?

In Job 9:24, the statement that the earth is handed over to the wicked seems to contradict God's sovereignty--why would an omnipotent God permit evil to reign?

What does the Bible teach about money?Verse 9. -They pluck the fatherless from the breast. Other oppressors, not of the marauding class, but dwellers in towns (ver. 12), are so cruel that they tear the unweaned child of the debtor from the mother's breast, as satisfaction for a debt, and carry him off into slavery (comp.2 Kings 4:1;Nehemiah 5:5).And take a pledge of the poor; literally,take in pledge that which is on the poor - in other words, their clothing. They will not lend to them on any other terms, and so force them to part with their garments, and go about naked. Even Hebrew creditors seem to have done this (Exodus 22:26;Deuteronomy 24:12, 13); and the Mosaic Law did not forbid the practice, but only required the creditor to let the debtor have his garment at night, that he might sleep in it (Exodus 22:27;Deuteronomy 24:13).
