Job 24:15-17
Contemporary English Version
15 Others wait for the dark,
thinking they won't be seen
if they sleep with the wife
or husband of someone else.
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.
Job 24:15-17
New International Version
15 The eye of the adulterer(A) watches for dusk;(B)
he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’(C)
and he keeps his face concealed.
16 In the dark, thieves break into houses,(D)
but by day they shut themselves in;
they want nothing to do with the light.(E)
17 For all of them, midnight is their morning;
they make friends with the terrors(F) of darkness.(G)
