5:14They meet with darkness in the daytime,55
Footnotes
- 55 God so confuses the crafty that they are unable to fulfill their plans—it is as if they encounter darkness in broad daylight. This is like the Syrians in 2 Kgs 6:18–23.
- 56 The verb מָשַׁשׁ (mashash) expresses the idea of groping about in the darkness. This is part of the fulfillment of Deut 28:29, which says, “and you shall grope at noonday as the blind grope in darkness.” This image is also in Isa 59:10.
- 57 The verse provides a picture of the frustration and bewilderment in the crafty who cannot accomplish their ends because God thwarts them.
