Job 12:22

He discovereth deep thirsts out of darkness -That is, God discloses truths which are wholly beyond the power of man to discover - truths that seem to be hidden in profound night. This may refer either to the revelation which God was believed to have furnished, or to his power of bringing out the most secret thoughts and purposes, or to his power of predicting future events by bringing them out of darkness to the clear light of day, or to his power of detecting plots, intrigues, and conspiracies. And bringeth out to light the shadow of death -On the meaning of the word rendered “shadow of death,” see the notes atJob 3:5. It here denotes whatever is dark or obscure.
