Job 24:13-17
New American Standard Bible
13 “[a]Others have been with those who rebel against the light;
They do not want to know its ways
Nor stay in its paths.
14 The murderer (A)arises at dawn;
He (B)kills the poor and the needy,
And at night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the (C)adulterer watches for [b]twilight,
Saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
And he [c]disguises his face.
16 In the darkness they (D)dig into houses,
They (E)shut themselves up by day;
They do not know the light.
17 For the morning is the same to him as thick darkness,
For he is familiar with the (F)terrors of thick darkness.
Job 24:13-17
New Living Translation
13 “Wicked people rebel against the light.
They refuse to acknowledge its ways
or stay in its paths.
14 The murderer rises in the early dawn
to kill the poor and needy;
at night he is a thief.
15 The adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No one will see me then.’
He hides his face so no one will know him.
16 Thieves break into houses at night
and sleep in the daytime.
They are not acquainted with the light.
17 The black night is their morning.
They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.
