who are not acquainted with its ways,
and do not stay in its paths.

and in the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for (C)the twilight,
saying, ‘No (D)eye will see me’;
and he veils his face.

by day they shut themselves up;
they do not know the light.
17 For (F)deep darkness is morning to all of them;
for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.

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)
