13 “There are those who rebel against the light,(A)
    who do not know its ways
    or stay in its paths.(B)
14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
    kills(C) the poor and needy,(D)
    and in the night steals forth like a thief.(E)
15 The eye of the adulterer(F) watches for dusk;(G)
    he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’(H)
    and he keeps his face concealed.
16 In the dark, thieves break into houses,(I)
    but by day they shut themselves in;
    they want nothing to do with the light.(J)
17 For all of them, midnight is their morning;
    they make friends with the terrors(K) of darkness.(L)

13 “Then there are those who rebel against the light;
    they are not acquainted with its ways;
        and they don’t stay on its course.[a]
14 The murderer rises at dawn to kill the poor and needy;
    at night, he is like a thief.
15 The adulterer watches for twilight,[b]
    saying, ‘No eye is watching me’
        while he veils his face.
16 They break into houses in the dark;
    during the day they remained sealed in.
        They don’t know daylight.
17 As a group, deep darkness is their morning time;
    fear that lives in darkness is their friend.”
