Job 24:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ Robbers hide during the day,
then break in after dark
    because they reject the light.
¹⁷ They prefer night to day,
since the terrors of the night
    are their friends.

¹⁸ Those sinners are filthy foam
    on the surface of the water.
And so, their fields and vineyards
will fall under a curse
    and won't produce.
