King James Version (KJV)

Job 24:14

“The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.”

Verse in context — Job 24

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly [to them].

They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth [his] face.

In the dark they dig through houses, [which] they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
