13They are of those bthat rebel against the light;
They know not the ways thereof,
Nor abide in the paths thereof.
14The murderer rising with the light
Killeth the poor and needy,
And in the night is as a thief.
15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for cthe twilight,
dSaying, No eye shall see me:
And †disguiseth his face.
16In the dark they dddig through houses,
Which they had marked for themselves in the daytime:
bThey know not the light.
17For ethe morning is to them even as fthe shadow of death:
If one know them, they are in the terrors of fthe shadow of death.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“There are those who rebel against the light,
who are not acquainted with its ways,
and do not stay in its paths.
The murderer rises before it is light,
that he may kill the poor and needy,
and in the night he is like a thief.
The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
and he veils his face.
In the dark they dig through houses;
by day they shut themselves up;
they do not know the light.
For deep darkness is morning to all of them;
for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
“There are those who rebel against the light,
who do not know its ways
or stay in its paths.
When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
kills the poor and needy,
and in the night steals forth like a thief.
The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk;
he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’
and he keeps his face concealed.
In the dark, thieves break into houses,
but by day they shut themselves in;
they want nothing to do with the light.
For all of them, midnight is their morning;
they make friends with the terrors of darkness.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
The wicked are those who rebel against the light.
They do not recognize its ways
or stay on its paths.
The murderer rises at dawn
to kill the poor and needy,
and by night he becomes a thief.
The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,
thinking, “No eye will see me,”
and he covers his face.
In the dark they break into houses;
by day they lock themselves in,
never experiencing the light.
For the morning is like darkness to them.
Surely they are familiar with the terrors of darkness!

NLTNew Living Translation
“Wicked people rebel against the light.
They refuse to acknowledge its ways
or stay in its paths.
The murderer rises in the early dawn
to kill the poor and needy;
at night he is a thief.
The adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No one will see me then.’
He hides his face so no one will know him.
Thieves break into houses at night
and sleep in the daytime.
They are not acquainted with the light.
The black night is their morning.
They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
“Those are among the ones rebelling against the light;
they do not recognize his ways,
and they do not stay in his paths.
At dusk the murderer rises;
he kills the needy and the poor,
and in the night he is like a thief.
And the eye of the adulterer waits for dusk,
saying, ‘No eye will see me,’
and he places a covering on his face.
He digs through houses in the darkness;
by day they shut themselves in—
they do not know the light
because morning likewise is to them deep darkness;
indeed, they know about the terrors of deep darkness.
