New International Version (NIV)

12turn night into day;

in the face of the darkness light is near.

12“They make night into day, saying,

‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness.

12They make night into day, saying,

‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness.

12“These [thoughts try to] make the night into the day;

‘The light is near,’ they say in the presence of darkness [but they pervert the truth].

12They have turned night into day,

making light seem near in the face of darkness.

12turn night into day.

Even though it’s dark,

‘Light is nearby.’
