Job 24:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ Others wait for the dark,
    thinking they won't be seen
if they sleep with the wife
    or husband of someone else.
¹⁶ Robbers hide during the day,
then break in after dark
    because they reject the light.
¹⁷ They prefer night to day,
since the terrors of the night
    are their friends.
