| 17 | For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. | For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness! | For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness. |
