"Those are among [the ones] rebelling [against the] light; they do not recognize his ways, and they do not stay in his paths. {At dusk} the murderer rises; he kills [the] needy and [the] poor, and in the night he is like a thief. And [the] eye of [the] adulterer waits for dusk, saying, {'No eye will see me,'} and he places a covering [on his] face. read more.
He digs through houses in the darkness; by day they shut themselves in-- they do not know [the] light because morning likewise is to them deep darkness; indeed, they know about [the] terrors of deep darkness. "He himself [is] swift on [the] water's surface; their portion is cursed in the land. {No one turns toward the path of their vineyards}. Drought and heat snatch away [the] snow waters, [like] Sheol [snatches away] those [who have] sinned. [The] womb forgets him. [The] maggot feasts on him [until] he is no longer remembered, and wickedness is broken like a tree. [He] feeds on [the] barren, [who] does not have a child, and does no good to [the] widow. Yet he carries off [the] tyrants by his strength; [if] he rises up, then he cannot be certain of life. He gives security to him, and he is supported, but his eyes [are] upon their ways. They are exalted a little while, then {they are gone}. And they are brought low; they are cut off like all [others], and like [the] heads of grain they wither away.

"Oh rebellious children!" {declares} Yahweh, "to make a plan, but not from me, and pour out a libation, but not [from] my Spirit, {so as to add} sin to sin. Who go to go down [to] Egypt, but they do not ask [of] my mouth, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt. And the protection of Pharaoh shall be shame to you, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt, humiliation. read more.
For his officials are at Zoan, and his envoys reach to Hanes. Everyone will start to stink because of a people [that] cannot profit them, not for help and not for profiting, but for shame and also for disgrace." An oracle of the animals of the Negev: Through a land of trouble and distress, [of] lioness and lion, {among} them [are] snake and flying serpent; they carry their wealth on [the] {backs} of male donkeys and their treasures on [the] humps of camels, to a people [that] cannot profit [them]. For {Egyptians} help [with] vanity and emptiness, therefore I have called this one "Rahab, they [are] sitting." Now go, write it on a tablet with them, and inscribe it on a scroll, {that} it may be {for the time to come}, forever, forever. For it [is] a people of rebellion, deceitful children, children [who are] not willing to hear the instruction of Yahweh, who say to those who do see, "You must not see!" and to the seers, "You must not see truth for us; speak smooth things to us, see illusions, turn aside from [the] way, turn aside from [the] path, put an end to the holy one of Israel from our face."

And the word of Yahweh {came} to me, {saying}, "Son of man, you [are] dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion {who has eyes to see and they do not see}; {they have ears to hear}, and they do not hear, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
