Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 5:14

14. They meet with darkness in the day time. , and grope in the noon day as in the night.

i. e. In plain things they run into gross mistakes and errours, and commonly chuse those counsels and courses which are worst for themselves. Darkness oft notes misery, but here ignorance or errour, as it is also used, Ch. 12. 25. & 37. 19. and elsewhere.

Like blind men to find their way, not knowing what to do.
