14 The murderer rises in the dark,[a]
    that he may kill the poor and needy;
    and in the night he is as a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight,
    saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
    and he disguises his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses;
    by day they shut themselves up;
    they do not know the light.
