Context of Job 24:13

11They make oil within the walls of these men; They treadtheirwinepresses, and suffer thirst. 12From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly. These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof. 14The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief. 15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13They are of those that rebel against the light - That is, they hate the light: compare John 3:20. It is unpleasant to them, and they perform their deeds in the night. Job here commences a reference to another class of wicked persons - those who perform their deeds in the darkness of the night; and he shows that the same thing is true of them as of those who commit crimes in open day, that God does not interpose directly to punish them.
