Commentary on Job 17:13
Job sees only death ahead: 'If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.' Job's expectation has shifted from vindication to death. Making his bed in darkness suggests resigned acceptance of death as only remaining future. The grave as 'house' inverts normal dwelling imagery—Job expects to 'live' in death. This darkness precedes his eventual restoration, showing that even faithful people can lose hope while God's plans remain intact.
