Job 24:13-17
The Message
13-17 “Then there are those who avoid light at all costs,
who scorn the light-filled path.
When the sun goes down, the murderer gets up—
kills the poor and robs the defenseless.
Sexual predators can’t wait for nightfall,
thinking, ‘No one can see us now.’
Burglars do their work at night,
but keep well out of sight through the day.
They want nothing to do with light.
Deep darkness is morning for that bunch;
they make the terrors of darkness their companions in crime.
Job 24:13-15
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)
14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
kills(C) the poor and needy,(D)
and in the night steals forth like a thief.(E)
15 The eye of the adulterer(F) watches for dusk;(G)
he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’(H)
and he keeps his face concealed.
