Job 24:13-17

New International Version

¹³“There are those who rebel against the light,^(A)
    who do not know its ways
    or stay in its paths.^(B)
¹⁴When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
    kills^(C) the poor and needy,^(D)
    and in the night steals forth like a thief.^(E)
¹⁵The eye of the adulterer^(F) watches for dusk;^(G)
    he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’^(H)
    and he keeps his face concealed.
¹⁶In the dark, thieves break into houses,^(I)
    but by day they shut themselves in;
    they want nothing to do with the light.^(J)
¹⁷For all of them, midnight is their morning;
    they make friends with the terrors^(K) of darkness.^(L)

Job 24:13-17

New King James Version

¹³“There are those who rebel against the light;
They do not know its ways
Nor abide in its paths.
¹⁴^(A)The murderer rises with the light;
He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
¹⁵^(B)The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
^(C)Saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
And he ^[a]disguises his face.
¹⁶In the dark they break into houses
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
^(D)They do not know the light.
¹⁷For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
