“When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.”
Job 24:14 (BSB)
Context Reading
12From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing. 13Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths. 14When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief. 15The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face. 16In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
