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.

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)
