UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּ֤י יַחְדָּ֨ו בֹּ֣קֶר לָ֣⁠מוֹ

that/for/because/then/when all morning of_them,them

Job is using the word For to introduce the reason why he said in the preceding verse that wicked people do not go out during the day. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “They do not go out because for all of them, morning”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֹּ֣קֶר לָ֣⁠מוֹ צַלְמָ֑וֶת

morning of_them,them deep_darkness

Job is speaking as if morning were literally deep darkness for wicked people. He means that they dread and avoid morning just as honest people dread and avoid the night. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they dread the morning as if it were deep darkness”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

לָ֣⁠מוֹ & יַ֝כִּ֗יר

of_them,them & are_friends_with

The pronoun them refers to wicked people, and the pronoun one refers to a representative or characteristic wicked person. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “for wicked people … each one of them regards”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יַ֝כִּ֗יר

are_friends_with

As in 24:13, here the word regards means “looks at” with the implication of looking with approval. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “each one of them admires”
