Others render this Text, not as a Question, but as a direct Assertion; Thou thoughtest, that thou shouldest, or thou hadst a conceit, that thou shouldest never see darkness, nor any trouble coming upon thee, thy heart was lift up in hope of Impunity; thou didst persuade thy self, that God had as high an opinion of thee, as thou hadst of thy self, or thou hast flattered thy self in thy sinful way, and thou thoughtest that God would have flattered thee also.

Darkness may be taken, either properly, or improperly; darkness properly taken is that of the air by the withdrawing of the Sun; This is not here intended. Darkness improperly taken is that of our state; and it is twofold. First, Internal, which is indeed ignorance, or the darkness of the mind; As if he had said, Darkness veils the eye of thy understanding, that thou canst not see, either the hand of God upon thee for thy sins, or those thy sins which have caused God to lay his heavy hand upon thee. Thy understanding is darkened, that thou canst not see; This intellectual or internal darkness is twofold.
