They don’t know its ways,
nor stay in its paths.

Job 24:10–16

so that they go around naked without clothing.
Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11

Selected verse
“These are of those who rebel against the light.
They don’t know its ways,
nor stay in its paths.
14

15

16

They don’t know the light.
