Job 24:14–16

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The murderer rising with the light

Killeth the poor and needy,

And in the night is as a thief.

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,

Saying, No eye shall see me:

And disguiseth his face.

In the dark they dig through houses,

Which they had marked for themselves in the daytime:

They know not the light.
