Commentary on Job 17:12

Theological / Devotional

They. That is, Job’s friends. They had tried to convince Job that day would dawn for him if he would repent (chs. 5:18-26; 8:21,22; 11:15-19). They declare in their way what is expressed in the thought, “The darkest hour is just before the dawn.” Job had not found comfort in these assurances. They seemed to lack the ring of sincerity.
