Job 24:13-15
New English Translation
Job 24:13-15
New English Translation
13 There are those[a] who rebel against the light;
they do not know its ways
and they do not stay on its paths.
14 Before daybreak[b] the murderer rises up;
he kills the poor and the needy;
in the night he is[c] like a thief.[d]
15 And the eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight,
thinking,[e] ‘No eye can see me,’
and covers his face with a mask.
