Job 24:13-19

New King James Version

¹³ “There are those who rebel against the light;
They do not know its ways
Nor abide in its paths.
^14 (A)The murderer rises with the light;
He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
^15 (B)The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
^(C)Saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
And he ^[a]disguises his face.
¹⁶ In the dark they break into houses
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
^(D)They do not know the light.
¹⁷ For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

¹⁸ “They should be swift on the face of the waters,
Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
¹⁹ As drought and heat ^[b]consume the snow waters,
So ^[c]the grave consumes those who have sinned.
