Job 5:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:14
Eliphaz describes the wicked's fate: 'They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.' The imagery reverses natural order—darkness during day represents divine judgment and confusion. The Hebrew 'mashash' (grope) suggests blind fumbling. Eliphaz implies Job's confusion and inability to understand his suffering proves he's among the wicked experiencing divine judgment. Yet Scripture shows that even the righteous sometimes walk in darkness (Isaiah 50:10), trusting God despite lack of understanding.
