Context of Job 24:13
11They press oil between the terraces; they tread winepresses, but are thirsty. 12From the city men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out; yet God charges no one with folly. These are those who rebel against the light, who do not recognize its ways or stay in its paths. 14The murderer rises with the light, kills the poor and needy, and in the night becomes a thief. 15The eye of the adulterer waits for twilight, thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ and he disguises his face.

Nor abide in the paths thereof - if brought at any time to a better mind, they speedily relapse; and are steady only in cruelty and mischief. This is the character of the…Read the comment
- 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. They are suffered…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 13-17Verses 13-17 See what care and pains wicked men take to compass their wicked designs; let it shame our negligence and slothfulness in doing good. See what pains those take, who make provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts of it: pains to compass, and then to hide that which will end 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, and everlasting shame is at the end of…Read the comment
