Job 24:13–15

13 “There are those who rebel against the light,

who do not know its ways

or stay in its paths.

14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,

kills the poor and needy,

and in the night steals forth like a thief.

15 The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk;

he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’

and he keeps his face concealed.

13 They are of those that rebel against the light;

They know not the ways thereof,

Nor abide in the paths thereof.

14 The murderer rising with the light

Killeth the poor and needy,

And in the night is as a thief.

15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,

Saying, No eye shall see me:

And disguiseth his face.

13 “Wicked people rebel against the light.

They refuse to acknowledge its ways

or stay in its paths.

14 The murderer rises in the early dawn

to kill the poor and needy;

at night he is a thief.

15 The adulterer waits for the twilight,

saying, ‘No one will see me then.’

He hides his face so no one will know him.

13 “There are those who rebel against the light;

They do not know its ways

Nor abide in its paths.

14 The murderer rises with the light;

He kills the poor and needy;

And in the night he is like a thief.

15 The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,

Saying, ‘No eye will see me’;

And he disguises his face.

13 “Those who fight against the light

do not know God’s ways

or stay in his paths.

14 When the day is over, the murderers get up

to kill the poor and needy.

At night they go about like thieves.

15 Those who are guilty of adultery watch for the night,

thinking, ‘No one will see us,’

and they keep their faces covered.

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 disguiseth his face.

13 There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof. 14 The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief. 15 And the eye of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and he putteth a covering on his face.

13 “Such people are among those who rebel against the light. 

They are not acquainted with its ways. 

They do not stay on its paths. 

14 At dawn murderers rise; they kill the poor and needy. 

At night they become thieves. 

15 Adulterers watch for twilight. 

They say, ‘No one is watching us,’ as they cover their faces. 

13 The wicked are those who rebel against the light.

They do not recognize its ways

or stay on its paths.

14 The murderer rises at dawn

to kill the poor and needy,

and by night he becomes a thief.

15 The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,

thinking: No eye will see me;

he covers his face.

13 “There are those who rebel against the light,

who are not acquainted with its ways

and do not stay in its paths.

14 The murderer rises at dusk

to kill the poor and needy

and in the night is like a thief.

15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight,

saying, ‘No eye will see me,’

and he disguises his face.

13 “Those are among the ones rebelling against the light;

they do not recognize his ways,

and they do not stay in his paths.

14 At dusk the murderer rises;

he kills the needy and the poor,

and in the night he is like a thief.

15 And the eye of the adulterer waits for dusk,

saying, ‘No eye will see me,’

and he places a covering on his face.

13 “Some people hate it when daylight comes.

In the daytime they never walk outside.

14 When daylight is gone, murderers get up.

They kill poor people and those who are in need.

In the night they sneak around like robbers.

15 Those who commit adultery wait until the sun goes down.

They think, ‘No one will see us.’

They keep their faces hidden.

13 “Others have been with those who rebel against the light;

They do not want to know its ways

Nor abide in its paths.

14 “The murderer arises at dawn;

He kills the poor and the needy,

And at night he is as a thief.

15 “The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,

Saying, ‘No eye will see me.’

And he disguises his face.
