12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
12 Yea, the darkness H2822 hideth H2821 not from thee; but the night H3915 shineth H215 as the day: H3117 the darkness H2825 and the light H219 are both alike to thee.
12 Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike `to thee'.
12 Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day shineth, as `is' darkness so `is' light.
12 Even darkness hideth not from thee, and the night shineth as the day: the darkness is as the light.
12 Even the darkness doesn't hide from you, But the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
12 Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
