Job 24:13-17
Legacy Standard Bible
13 “[a]Others have been with those who rebel against the light;
They do not want to recognize its ways
Nor abide in its paths.
14 The murderer (A)arises at dawn;
He (B)kills the afflicted and the needy,
And at night he is as a thief.
15 The eye of the (C)adulterer keeps watch for the twilight,
Saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
And he [b]keeps his face hidden.
16 In the dark they (D)dig into houses;
They (E)shut themselves up by day;
They do not know the light.
17 For the morning is the same to him as the shadow of death,
For he recognizes the (F)terrors of the shadow of death.
Job 24:13-17
Common English Bible
Sinners’ conduct
13 They rebel against light,
don’t acknowledge its direction,
don’t dwell in its paths.
14 The murderer rises at twilight,
kills the poor and needy;
at night, they are like a thief.
15 The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,
thinking, No eye can see me,
and puts a mask over his face.
16 In the dark they break into houses;
they shut themselves in by day;
they don’t know the light.
17 Deep darkness is morning to them
because they recognize the horror of darkness.
