14 The murderer rises in the early dawnto kill the poor and needy;at night he is a thief.
15 The adulterer waits for the twilight,saying, ‘No one will see me then.’He hides his face so no one will know him.
16 Thieves break into houses at nightand sleep in the daytime.They are not acquainted with the light.
17 The black night is their morning.They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.
18 “But they disappear like foam down a river.Everything they own is cursed,and they are afraid to enter their own vineyards.
19 The grave consumes sinnersjust as drought and heat consume snow.
20 Their own mothers will forget them.Maggots will find them sweet to eat.No one will remember them.Wicked people are broken like a tree in the storm.
