13 “These are of those who rebel against the light.
    They don’t know its ways,
    nor stay in its paths.
14 The murderer rises with the light.
    He kills the poor and needy.
    In the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
    saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
    He disguises his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses.
    They shut themselves up in the daytime.
    They don’t know the light.
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness,
    for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

13 These are of them that rebel against the light;
They know not the ways thereof,
Nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer riseth with the light;
He killeth the poor and needy;
And in the night he is as a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
Saying, No eye shall see me:
And he [a]disguiseth his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses:
[b]They shut themselves up in the day-time;
They know not the light.
17 For [c]the morning is to all of them as thick darkness;
For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
