Job 12:22 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. He discovereth deep things out of darkness - This may refer either to God's works in the great deep, or to the plots and stratagems of wicked men, conspiracies that were deeply laid, well digested, and about to be produced into existence, when death, whose shadow had hitherto concealed them, is to glut himself with carnage.
