12 Those dying in the city groan.Wounded people cry for help,but God pays no attention to their prayers.
13 “Such people are among those who rebel against the light.They are not acquainted with its ways.They do not stay on its paths.
14 At dawn murderers rise; they kill the poor and needy.At night they become thieves.
15 Adulterers watch for twilight.They say, ‘No one is watching us,’ as they cover their faces.
16 In the dark, they break into houses,⌊but⌋ by day they lock themselves in.They do not ⌊even⌋ know the light,
17 because morning and deep darkness are the same to them,because they are familiar with the terrors of deep darkness.
18 Such people are like scum on the surface of the water.Their property is cursed in the land.People do not travel the road that goes to their vineyards.
