Job 24:15 meaning and explanation

The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.

Job is answering his friends, arguing that God's judgment often seems delayed while the wicked prosper. In this verse he pictures the adulterer as a night creature: he waits for dusk, tells himself no one is watching, and covers his face, a veil or disguise to avoid recognition.
