Job 24:9-12

Many poor people suffer because of the evil actions of rich people.

People who oppose every good thing

v13 Some people oppose everything that is good. They do not know how they should behave. Or, they choose to do evil deeds. These people hate the daylight:

• v14 The murderer gets up at night. He kills poor people. And he is a thief by night.

• v15 A married man wants to have sex with a woman who is not his wife. So, he waits for nightfall. He thinks, ‘Nobody will see me.’ He covers his face.

• v16 Thieves enter houses by night. But they stay inside during the day. They hate the daylight.

v17 These people are afraid of the daylight. They are familiar with the terrors of the night.
