They do not recognize its ways
or stay on its paths.

The murderer rises at dawn
to kill the poor and needy,
and by night he becomes a thief.

The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight,
thinking: No eye will see me;
he covers his face.

In the dark they break^(a) into houses;
by day they lock themselves in,^(b)
never experiencing the light.

For the morning is like darkness to them.
Surely they are familiar with the terrors of darkness!
