Job 24:16 in Context — Job 24
14 A la luz se levanta el matador, mata al pobre y al necesitado, y de noche es como ladrón.
15 El ojo del adúltero está aguardando la noche, diciendo: No me verá nadie: y esconde su rostro.
16 En las tinieblas minan las casas, que de día para sí señalaron; no conocen la luz.
17 Porque la mañana es á todos ellos como sombra de muerte; si son conocidos, terrores de sombra de muerte [los toman].
18 Son instables más que la superficie de las aguas; su porción es maldita en la tierra; no andarán por el camino de las viñas.
