Job 24:13-17
New American Standard Bible
13 “[a]Others have been with those who rebel against the light;
They do not want to know its ways
Nor stay in its paths.
14 The murderer (A)arises at dawn;
He (B)kills the poor and the needy,
And at night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the (C)adulterer watches for [b]twilight,
Saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
And he [c]disguises his face.
16 In the darkness 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 thick darkness,
For he is familiar with the (F)terrors of thick darkness.
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.
