Job 24:13-17
World English Bible
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.
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.
16 In the dark they break into houses
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
(D)They do not know the light.
17 For 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.
