Bible verse
When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.
Job 24:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 24.
10 Without clothing, they wander about naked. They carry the sheaves, but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives within their walls; they tread the winepresses, but go thirsty.
12 From the city, men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out, yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.
13 Then there are those who rebel against the light, not knowing its ways or staying on its paths.
14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises to kill the poor and needy; in the night he is like a thief.
15 The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
17 For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!
18 They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.
