The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
The murderer rises with the light to kill the poor and needy, and in the night becomes as a thief. This is Job's contrast between the wicked who oppress the vulnerable and his own deeds in helping them.
The verse stands with Job 22 and Job 23 in a morning portion. That portion lies within Job 8 through Job 27, where Job answers the accusations of his friends. It falls near the middle of his last reply, after his friends have ceased troubling him.
