Verse 16 is found in chapter 24 of Job. Job continues describing those who act in darkness and avoid the light, contrasting them with vulnerable victims. The section recognizes that real and deliberate evil exists, but observes that its consequences do not always appear immediately. Job concludes by defending the consistency of his observation against those who maintain a visible and automatic system of retribution.
