Ayub 12:22

12:22 He reveals the deep things of darkness,

and brings deep shadows ¹  into the light.

Mazmur 139:11-12

139:11 If I were to say, “Certainly the darkness will cover me, ² 

and the light will turn to night all around me,” ³ 

139:12 even the darkness is not too dark for you to see, ⁴ 

and the night is as bright as ⁵  day;

darkness and light are the same to you. ⁶ 

Yeremia 23:24

23:24 “Do you really think anyone can hide himself

where I cannot see him?” the Lord asks. ⁷ 

“Do you not know that I am everywhere?” ⁸ 

the Lord asks. ⁹ 

Ibrani 4:13

4:13 And no creature is hidden from God, ¹⁰  but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

[12:22]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word is traditionally rendered “shadow of death” (so KJV, ASV); see comments at Job 3:3.

[139:11]  ² tn The Hebrew verb שׁוּף (shuf), which means “to crush; to wound,” in Gen 3:15 and Job 9:17, is problematic here. For a discussion of attempts to relate the verb to Arabic roots, see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 251. Many emend the form to יְשׂוּכֵּנִי (yesukkeniy), from the root שׂכך (“to cover,” an alternate form of סכך), a reading assumed in the present translation.

[139:11]  ³ tn Heb “and night, light, around me.”

[139:12]  ⁴ tn The words “to see” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[139:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “shines like.”

[139:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “like darkness, like light.”

[23:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[23:24]  ⁸ tn The words “Don’t you know” are not in the text. They are a way of conveying the idea that the question which reads literally “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” expects a positive answer. They follow the pattern used at the beginning of the previous two questions and continue that thought. The words are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[23:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[4:13]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “him”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
