15 The eye of the adulterer watches for dusk; he thinks, 'No eye will see me,' and he keeps his face concealed.
15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight, saying, 'No eye will see me'; and he veils his face.
15 Sexual predators can't wait for nightfall, thinking, 'No one can see us now.'
15 The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, 'No eye will see me'; And he disguises his face.
15 The adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, 'No one will see me then.' He hides his face so no one will know him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 24:15
Commentary on Job 24:13-17
(Read Job 24:13-17)
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 it. See the misery of sinners; they are exposed to continual frights: yet see their folly; they are afraid of coming under the eye of men, but have no dread of God's eye, which is always upon them: they are not afraid of doing things which they are afraid of being known to do.
