SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:22

tierra de oscuridad, y tenebrosa sombra de muerte, donde no hay orden, y que resplandece como la misma oscuridad.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 10:22

Verse 22. Where the light is as darkness. ] A palpable obscure: it is space and place, and has only such light or capability of distinction as renders "darkness visible." The following words of Sophocles convey the same idea: iw skotov emoi faov; "Thou darkness be my light." It is, as the Vulgate expresses it, Terra tenebrosa, et operta mortis caligine: Terra miseriae et tenebrarum, ubi umbra mortis, et nullus ordo, sed sempiternus horror inhabitat: "A murky land, covered with the thick darkness of death: a land of wretchedness and obscurities, where is the shadow of death, and no order, but sempiternal horror dwells everywhere." Or, as Coverdale expresses this last clause, Wheras is no ordre but terrible feare as in the darknesse. A duration not characterized or measured by any of the attributes of time; where there is no order of darkness and light, night and day, heat and cold, summer and winter. It is the state of the dead! The place of separate spirits! It is out of time, out of probation, beyond change or mutability. It is on the confines of eternity! But what is THIS? and where? Eternity! how can I form any conception of thee? In thee there is no order, no bounds, no substance, no progression, no change, no past, no present, no future! Thou art an indescribable something, to which there is no analogy in the compass of creation. Thou art infinity and incomprehensibility to all finite beings. Thou art what, living, I know not, and what I must die to know; and even then I shall apprehend no more of thee than merely that thou art E-T-E-R-N-I-T-Y!

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-22 - Job did not deny that as a sinner he deserved his sufferings; but he thought that justice was executed upon him with peculiar rigour. Hi gloom, unbelief, and hard thoughts of God, were as much to be ascribe to Satan's inward temptations, and his anguish of soul, under the sens of God's displeasure, as to his outward trials, and remainin depravity. Our Creator, become in Christ our Redeemer also, will no destroy the work of his hands in any humble believer; but will rene him unto holiness, that he may enjoy eternal life. If anguish on eart renders the grave a desirable refuge, what will be their condition wh are condemned to the blackness of darkness for ever? Let every sinne seek deliverance from that dreadful state, and every believer be thankful to Jesus, who delivereth from the wrath to come __________________________________________________________________
