Job 24:13-17
Christian Standard Bible
13 The wicked are those who rebel against the light.
They do not recognize its ways
or stay on its paths.
14 The murderer rises at dawn
to kill the poor and needy,
and by night he becomes a thief.
15 The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,
thinking, “No eye will see me,”
and he covers his face.
16 In the dark they break[a] into houses;
by day they lock themselves in,[b]
never experiencing the light.
17 For the morning is like darkness to them.
Surely they are familiar with the terrors of darkness!
Job 24:13-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 “There are those who rebel against the light,
who are not acquainted with its ways
and do not stay in its paths.(A)
14 The murderer rises at dusk
to kill the poor and needy
and in the night is like a thief.(B)
15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No eye will see me,’
and he disguises his face.(C)
16 In the dark they dig through houses;
by day they shut themselves up;
they do not know the light.(D)
17 For deep darkness is morning to all of them;
for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.(E)
