Wesley's Notes

24:17 Is - Terrible and hateful.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

17. 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.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

24:13-17 See what care and pains wicked men take to compass their wicked designs; let it shame our negligence and slothfulness in doing good. See what pains those take, who make provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts of it: pains to compass, and then to hide that which will end in death and hell at last. Less pains would mortify and crucify the flesh, and be life and heaven at last. Shame came in with sin, and everlasting shame is at the end of it. See the misery of sinners; they are exposed to continual frights: yet see their folly; they are afraid of coming under the eye of men, but have no dread of God's eye, which is always upon them: they are not afraid of doing things which they are afraid of being known to do.


Job 15:21 "Sounds of terror are in his ears; While at peace the destroyer comes upon him. (NASB ©1995)
