Job 12

Job 12:22
"He reveals mysteries from the darkness
And brings the deep darkness into light.
God is the only one who can show us the things we don't understand.  He has power to inform and reveal, and does so on His timing, not ours.  Man can search for mysteries for generations without success, but when God wants us to know something, we will learn it.  We may not know He brought it to us, and not give Him due credit, but we will know what He wants us to, be it about things spiritual or temporal.

Much of the rest of this chapter talks about how God humbles the prideful and powerful.  I wonder if the second half of this verse is more along that line.  Perhaps it means that He makes those deep, dark secrets that leaders don't want known, and brings them to light?  He exposes hidden sins, and makes them speak about those things that they would rather leave unsaid.  Again, either deeds or thoughts, God can reveal anything.
