Job 24:17

24:17 For all of them, ¹  the morning is to them

like deep darkness;

they are friends with the terrors of darkness.

Job 30:15

30:15 Terrors are turned loose ²  on me;

they drive away ³  my honor like the wind,

and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.

[24:17]  ¹ tn Heb “together.”

[30:15]  ² tn The passive singular verb (Hophal) is used with a plural subject (see GKC 388 §121.b).

[30:15]  ³ tc This translation assumes that “terrors” (in the plural) is the subject. Others emend the text in accordance with the LXX, which has, “my hope is gone like the wind.”
