⁴ That day--let it be dark; let not God take note of it from on high, and let not the light be shining on it;

⁵ Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.

²² A land of thick dark, without order, where the very light is dark.

¹² As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.

¹³ Then the king said to the servants, Put cords round his hands and feet and put him out into the dark; there will be weeping and cries of sorrow.

¹³ Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever.

¹⁰ And the fifth let what was in his vessel come out on the high seat of the beast; and his kingdom was made dark; and they were biting their tongues for pain.
