For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness,
for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Job 24:17 in context
Job 24:14–20
14
The murderer rises with the light.
He kills the poor and needy.
In the night he is like a thief.
15
The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
He disguises his face.
16
In the dark they dig through houses.
They shut themselves up in the daytime.
They don’t know the light.
17
Selected verse
For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness,
for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
18
“They are foam on the surface of the waters.
Their portion is cursed on the earth.
They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
20
The womb will forget him.
The worm will feed sweetly on him.
He will be no more remembered.
Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
