Job 24:14

12 From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.

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

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.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
