Job 24:13-17
Lexham English Bible
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.
16 He digs through houses in the darkness;
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.
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.”
