“He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.”
"He uncovers the deeps out of darkness and brings deep darkness to light." God's power over revelation and concealment is absolute. What was hidden is exposed; what was known is obscured. This verse suggests that the friends cannot claim knowledge of divine purposes because God controls the very conditions of knowledge. Their system of interpretation rests on assumptions about what God reveals, but if God's revelatory practices transcend moral categories, their interpretations are merely projections.
