Job 24:16 in Context — Job 24

14 De manhã o homicida se levanta, mata ao pobre e ao necessitado, e de noite ele age como ladrão.

15 O olho do adúltero aguarda o crepúsculo, dizendo: Olho nenhum me verá; E esconde seu rosto.

16 Nas trevas vasculham as casas, de dia eles se trancam; não conhecem a luz.

17 Porque a manhã é para todos eles como sombra de morte; pois são conhecidos dos pavores de sombra de morte.

18 Ele é ligeiro sobre a superfície das águas; maldita é sua porção sobre a terra; não se vira para o caminho das vinhas.
