Job 24:17

Read in context

Job 24:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

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!

18 They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.

19 As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
