Job 24:17

“For the morning [is] to them even as the shadow of death, etc.] It is as disagreeable, and as hateful, and as terrible to them as the grossest and thickest darkness can be to others. The word wdjy is to be rendered either “alike” or “altogether”, and not “even”, as in our version: “the morning is to them equally” or “together” f907; that is, to the murderer, robber, thief, adulterer, and housebreaker, “as the shadow of death”; alike disagreeable to them all; or “the shadow of death is to them together” or “alike [as the] morning”; what the morning is to others, exceeding pleasant and delightful, that to them is the shadow of death, or the darkest night; they love darkness rather than light:…”

“They shrink from the "morning" light, as much as other men do from the blackest darkness ("the shadow of death"). if one know--that is, recognize them. Rather, "They know well (are familiar with) the terrors of," &c. [UMBREIT]. Or, as MAURER, "They know the terrors of (this) darkness," namely, of morning, the light, which is as terrible to them as darkness ("the shadow of death") is to other men.”

“For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death - They dread the light as one does usually the deepest darkness. The morning or light would reveal their deeds of wickedness, and they therefore avoid it. As the shadow of death - As the deepest darkness; see the notes at Job 3:5. If one know them - If they are recognized. Or, more probably, this means “they,” that is, each one of them, “are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death,” or with the deepest darkness. By this rendering the common signification of the word (יכיר yakı̂yr) will be retained, and the translation will accord with the general sense of the passage. The meaning is, that they are familiar with the blackest…”
