13 “Then there are those who rebel against the light;
    they are not acquainted with its ways;
        and they don’t stay on its course.[a]
14 The murderer rises at dawn to kill the poor and needy;
    at night, he is like a thief.
15 The adulterer watches for twilight,[b]
    saying, ‘No eye is watching me’
        while he veils his face.
16 They break into houses in the dark;
    during the day they remained sealed in.
        They don’t know daylight.
17 As a group, deep darkness is their morning time;
    fear that lives in darkness is their friend.”
