12:22
And by and by the day broke ; then said Christian , He hath turned `` the shadow of death into the morning '' . -LSB- Amos 5:8 -RSB- -LCB- 165 -RCB- Now morning being come , he looked back , not out of desire to return , but to see , by the light of the day , what hazards he had gone through in the dark . So he saw more perfectly the ditch that was on the one hand , and the mire that was on the other ; also how narrow the way was which led betwixt them both ; also now he saw the hobgoblins , and satyrs , and dragons of the pit , but all afar off , -LRB- for after break of day , they came not nigh ;-RRB- yet they were discovered to him , according to that which is written , `` He discovereth deep things out of darkness , and bringeth out to light the shadow of death . '' -LSB- Job 12:22 -RSB- -LCB- 166 -RCB- Now was Christian much affected with his deliverance from all the dangers of his solitary way ; which dangers , though he feared them more before , yet he saw them more clearly now , because the light of the day made them conspicuous to him . And about this time the sun was rising , and this was another mercy to Christian ; for you must note , that though the first part of the Valley of the Shadow of Death was dangerous , yet this second part which he was yet to go , was , if possible , far more dangerous ; for from the place where he now stood , even to the end of the valley , the way was all along set so full of snares , traps , gins , and nets here , and so full of pits , pitfalls , deep holes , and shelvings down there , that , had it now been dark , as it was when he came the first part of the way , had he had a thousand souls , they had in reason been cast away ; but , as I said just now , the sun was rising . Then said he , `` His candle shineth upon my head , and by his light I walk through darkness . '' -LSB- Job 29:3 -RSB- -LCB- 167 -RCB- In this light , therefore , he came to the end of the valley .
