24:17 For all of them, 1 the morning is to them
like deep darkness;
they are friends with the terrors of darkness.
29:16 I was a father 2 to the needy,
and I investigated the case of the person I did not know;
[24:17] 1 tn Heb “together.”
[29:16] 2 sn The word “father” does not have a wide range of meanings in the OT. But there are places that it is metaphorical, especially in a legal setting like this where the poor need aid.
