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
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 There are people who rebel against the light.
They do not acknowledge its ways or dwell in its paths.
14 At the end of the daylight[a] a murderer arises,
and he kills the poor and needy.
At night he acts as a thief.
15 The eye of an adulterer keeps watch for twilight.
He says, “No eye can get a good look at me.”
He wears a mask over his face.
16 In the dark of night he digs into houses.
By day such people hide inside.
They keep away from the light.
17 For all of them, morning is their darkness.[b]
They are familiar with the sudden terror of darkness.
