15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and disguiseth his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime; they know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death; if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
