For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. {reproved: or, discovered}
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove {them}.
But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, {there shall} no blood {be shed} for him.
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; {and} caused the dayspring to know his place;
And the prince that {is} among them shall bear upon {his} shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with {his} eyes.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby. {Dig...: Heb. Dig for thee}
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
