16 At night thieves break into houses,
    but by day they hide and avoid the light.
17 They fear the light of day,
    but darkness holds no terror for them.

[Zophar][a]

18 The wicked are swept away by floods,
    and the land they own is under God's curse;
    they no longer go to work in their vineyards.
