Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bakhem {בָכֶם | bākem} ‘among you’ defines the search-domain, while the singular predicate chakam {חָכָם | ḥākām} ‘wise one’ is used substantively and indefinitely, highlighting that not even one genuinely wise person is present in their company.
In context — Job 17:10
Yet, all of you, return and come, please; and I will not find a wise man among you.
