13 “These are of those who rebel against the light.
    They don’t know its ways,
    nor stay in its paths.
14 The murderer rises with the light.
    He kills the poor and needy.
    In the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
    saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
    He disguises his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses.
    They shut themselves up in the daytime.
    They don’t know the light.
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness,
    for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

    saying, ‘No (D)eye will see me’;
    and he veils his face.

    for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.
