Job 24:15

Read in context

Job 24:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

13 Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths.

14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.

15 The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.

16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.

17 For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!
