Commentary on Job 24:17

Theological / Devotional

Shadow of death. Or, “deep darkness.” When the deepest darkness of the night begins, these people enter upon their day’s work. The drawing on of night is to them what daybreak is to others. This verse completes the section beginning with v. 13, which stresses the way in which the violators of the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments love darkness and hate light.
