Job 24:13-17
New Living Translation
13 “Wicked people rebel against the light.
They refuse to acknowledge its ways
or stay in its paths.
14 The murderer rises in the early dawn
to kill the poor and needy;
at night he is a thief.
15 The adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No one will see me then.’
He hides his face so no one will know him.
16 Thieves break into houses at night
and sleep in the daytime.
They are not acquainted with the light.
17 The black night is their morning.
They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.

and he keeps his face concealed.

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)
