Exegesis
The prepositional phrase beyado {בְּיָדוֹ | be-ya-do} ‘in his hand’ idiomatically expresses imminence, and the construct chain yom-khoshekh {יוֹם־חֹשֶךְ | yom-kho-shek} ‘day of darkness’ frames the anticipated calamity. The translation retains the Hebrew’s urgent question and shifts to assured foreboding.
In context — Job 15:23
He wanders for bread , saying, “Where is it?” He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand .
