SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:16
En las tinieblas minan las casas, que de día para sí seņalaron; no conocen la luz.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 24:16
Verse 16. In the dark they dig through houses ] Thieves in Bengal very frequently dig through the mud wall and under the clay floors of houses, and, entering unperceived, plunder them while the inhabitants are asleep. Mr. Good's version of this paragraph I shall lay before the reader:- ver. 15. For the dark too watcheth the eye of the adulterer; Exclaiming, No eye shall behold me. Then putteth he the muffler on his face; Ver. 16. He wormeth into houses amidst the darkness. In the daytime they seal themselves up, They know not the light: Ver. 17. For, the dawn they reckon to themselves as the death-shade; The horrors of the death- shade as it returneth.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-17 - See what care and pains wicked men take to compass their wicke designs; let it shame our negligence and slothfulness in doing good See what pains those take, who make provision for the flesh to fulfi the lusts of it: pains to compass, and then to hide that which will en in death and hell at last. Less pains would mortify and crucify the flesh, and be life and heaven at last. Shame came in with sin, an everlasting shame is at the end of it. See the misery of sinners; the are exposed to continual frights: yet see their folly; they are afrai of coming under the eye of men, but have no dread of God's eye, whic is always upon them: they are not afraid of doing things which they ar afraid of being known to do.
