job 24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. - Free Bible Online

job 24:16 "In the dark they dig into houses, They shut themselves up by day; They do not know the light.


      16. dig through--Houses in the East are generally built of sun-dried mud bricks (so Mt 6:19). "Thieves break through," literally, "dig through" (Eze 12:7).
      had marked--Rather, as in Job 9:7, "They shut themselves up" (in their houses); literally, "they seal up."
      for themselves--for their own ends, namely, to escape detection.
      know not--shun.
