Job 24:11-18 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. Between their terraces they press out oil; they tread the presses, but they are thirsty.

12. From the city people groan, and the throat of the wounded cries for help; yet God does not regard it as unseemly.

13. “Those are among the ones rebelling against the light; they do not recognize his ways, and they do not stay in his paths.

14. At dusk the murderer rises; he kills the needy and the poor, and in the night he is like a thief.

15. And the eye of the adulterer waits for dusk, saying, ‘No eye will see me,’ and he places a covering on his face.

16. He digs through houses in the darkness; by day they shut themselves in— they do not know the light

17. because morning likewise is to them deep darkness; indeed, they know about the terrors of deep darkness.

18. “He himself is swift on the water’s surface; their portion is cursed in the land. No one turns toward the path of their vineyards.
