Job 17:12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

They change the night into day My distressing thoughts, griefs, and fears, so incessantly pursue and disturb me, that I can no more sleep in the night than in the day. The light is short The day-light, which often gives some comfort to men in misery, seems to be gone and fled as soon as it is begun; because of darkness Because of my grievous pains and torments, which follow me by day as well as by night.
