13 “Those are among the ones rebelling against the light;
they do not recognize his ways,
and they do not stay in his paths.
14 At dusk[a] the murderer rises;
he kills the needy and the poor,
and in the night he is like a[b] thief.
15 And the eye of the adulterer waits for dusk,
saying, ‘No eye will see me,’[c]
and he places a covering on his face.

by day they shut themselves in—
they do not know the light
17 because morning likewise is to them deep darkness;
indeed, they know about the terrors of deep darkness.
