¹³     They were among those who rebel against the light.
        They don’t want to know what makes it shine,
        nor do they live their lives in its paths.
¹⁴     It is not the poor and the victim who rebel.
        It is the murderer who rises before first light
    And kills the poor and the needy.
        And in the dark of night, he becomes the thief.
¹⁵     And the eye of the adulterer waits for the onset of dusk;
        he thinks, “No one will see me,” because he disguises his face.
¹⁶     And others break into homes in the dark.
        However, by day they shut themselves up inside
        because they do not know the light.
¹⁷     For all of these criminals,
        the morning arrives arm in arm with the threat of being found out.
    It is as the shadow of death to them,
        for they are at ease with the terrors of the night.
