Job 17:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.
In context
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,’
