Job 24:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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:[a]
their portion in the land is accursed,
they do not turn aside by way of the vineyards.
