SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:15

El ojo del adúltero está aguardando la noche, diciendo: No me verá nadie; y esconde su rostro.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 24:15

Verse 15. The eye also of the adulterer ] This is another sin particularly of the city. The adulterer has made his assignation; he has marked the house of her into whose good graces he has insinuated himself, called digging through the house; he waits impatiently for the dusk; and then goes forth, having muffled or disguised his face, and spends a criminal night with the faithless wife of another man. The morning dawns: but it is to him as the shadow of death, lest he should be detected before he can reach his own home. And if one know him-if he happen to be recognized in coming out of the forbidden house; the terrors of death seize upon him, being afraid that the thing shall be brought to light, or that he shall be called to account, a sanguinary account, by the injured husband. This seems to be the general sense of the very natural picture which Job draws in the 15th, 16th, and 17th verses.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 13-17 - See what care and pains wicked men take to compass their wicke designs; let it shame our negligence and slothfulness in doing good See what pains those take, who make provision for the flesh to fulfi the lusts of it: pains to compass, and then to hide that which will en 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, an everlasting shame is at the end of it. See the misery of sinners; the are exposed to continual frights: yet see their folly; they are afrai of coming under the eye of men, but have no dread of God's eye, whic is always upon them: they are not afraid of doing things which they ar afraid of being known to do.
