Everyone who does evil deeds hates the light. They will not come into the light. They are afraid that what they do will be seen.

“ Some people hate it when daylight comes. In the daytime they never walk outside.

“ Job, have you ever commanded the morning to come? Have you ever shown the sun where to rise?The daylight takes the earth by its edges as if it were a blanket. Then it shakes sinful people out of it.

“ Suppose you catch a thief breaking into your house at night. And suppose you hit the thief and the thief dies. Then you are not guilty of murder.But suppose it happens after the sun has come up. Then you are guilty of murder.“ Anyone who steals must pay for whatever they steal. But suppose the thief does not have anything. Then the thief must be sold to pay for what was stolen.

You must understand something. Suppose the owner of the house knew what time of night the robber was coming. Then he would have kept watch. He would not have let his house be broken into.

While the people are watching, dig through the mud bricks of your house. Then take your belongings out through the hole in the wall.Put them on your shoulder. Carry them out at sunset. Let the people see you. Cover your face so you can’t see the land. All of that will show the Israelites what is going to happen to them.”So I did just as he commanded me. During the day I brought out my things as if I were going on a long trip. In the evening I dug through the wall of my house with my hands. At sunset I took my belongings out. I put them on my shoulders. The people watched what I was doing.

“ Do not gather for yourselves riches on earth. Moths and rats can destroy them. Thieves can break in and steal them.

Have nothing to do with the acts of darkness. They don’t produce anything good. Show what they are really like.It is shameful even to talk about what people who don’t obey do in secret.But everything the light shines on can be seen. And everything that the light shines on becomes a light.

“ The prince among them will put his things on his shoulder and leave. He will do this at sunset. Someone will dig a hole in the city wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so he can’t see the land.
