13These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.

14The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.

15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.

16In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light.

17For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

18Swiftly they [pass away] upon the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: They turn not into the way of the vineyards.

19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [So doth] Sheol [those that] have sinned.
