Job 24:14-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

14. The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

15. The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguises his face.

16. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

17. For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one recognizes them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

18. They are swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: no one turns into the way of the vineyards.

19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so does the grave those who have sinned.

20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

21. He evil treats the barren that bears not: and does not good to the widow.

22. He draws also the mighty with his power: he rises up, but no man is sure of life.

23. Though it be given him to be in safety, he rests; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
