He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
bSaying, ‘No eye will see me’;
And he1 disguises his face.
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
aThey do not know the light.
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
| << Job 24:14 | Job 24:16 >> |
