ગુજરાતીઅયૂબ ૨૪:૧૬
રાત પડે ત્યારે ચોરો ઘરોમાં ચોરી કરે છે; પણ દિવસમાં તેઓ પોતાના ઘરમાં બારણાં બંધ કરીને પુરાઈ રહે છે; તેઓ અજવાળું જોવા માંગતા નથી.
हिन्दीअय्यूब २४:१६
वे अंधियारे के समय घरों में सेंध मारते और दिन को छिपे रहते हैं; वे उजियाले को जानते भी नहीं।

In context

14The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.

15The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises his face.

16In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.

17For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

18“They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed on the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
