Job chapter 24 verses 14 and 15, the murderer rises before his light, that he may kill the poor and

needy, and in the night he is like a thief. The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight,

doesn't have access to that account where they can see things where you can't give end to sin and

secret where nobody else knows. I think about another conversation recently just with someone

doing something that they thought nobody else would ever know. And indeed, if God had not revealed
