Job 24:16
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.
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.
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.
