“In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.”
Job 24:16 (BSB)
Context Reading
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. 17For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness! 18They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.
