Job 24:14 in context

  1. 12From out of the populous city, men groan.
    The soul of the wounded cries out,
    yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
  2. 13“These are of those who rebel against the light.
    They don’t know its ways,
    nor stay in its paths.
  3. 14The murderer rises with the light.
    He kills the poor and needy.
    In the night he is like a thief.
  4. 15The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
    saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
    He disguises his face.
  5. 16In the dark they dig through houses.
    They shut themselves up in the daytime.
    They don’t know the light.
