Bible verse
They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.
Job 17:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 17.
8 The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are stirred against the godless.
9 Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.
10 But come back and try again, all of you. For I will not find a wise man among you.
11 My days have passed; my plans are broken off—even the desires of my heart.
12 They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.
13 If I look for Sheol as my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,
14 and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?
16 Will it go down to the gates of Sheol? Will we go down together into the dust?”
