“They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.”
Eliphaz describes how the wicked meet darkness in daytime and grope at noon as in the night, suggesting that those who have separated themselves from God find themselves spiritually and cognitively blind. The image of daylight becoming darkness for the wicked represents the inversion of understanding that accompanies separation from divine wisdom. The inability to see even in bright day symbolizes the complete disorientation of those who have turned from God.
