Job 24:13-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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)
Job 24:13-17
International Standard Version
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.”
