16. in the dark he breaks into houses;By day they shut themselves in;they do not know the light.
17. Indeed, for all of them morning is deep darkness;then they recognize the terrors of deep darkness.
18. He is swift on the surface of the water:their portion in the land is accursed,they do not turn aside by way of the vineyards.

25. If this be not so, who can make me a liar,and reduce my words to nothing?
