⁸ My way is walled up by him so that I may not go by: he has made my roads dark.

⁷ He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain.

²³ To a man whose way is veiled, and who is shut in by God?

⁹ He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted.

⁶ For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.

¹² Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

¹² For this cause their steps will be slipping on their way: they will be forced on into the dark and have a fall there: for I will send evil on them in the year of their punishment, says the Lord.

¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God, before he makes it dark, and before your feet are slipping on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for a light, he makes it into deep dark, into black night.

¹⁰ Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.

¹⁹ The way of sinners is dark; they see not the cause of their fall.

⁸ You have sent my friends far away from me; you have made me a disgusting thing in their eyes: I am shut up, and not able to come out.

²⁶ For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.

⁷ And at their cry, the Lord made it dark between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea go over them, covering them with its waters; your eyes have seen what I did in Egypt: then for a long time you were living in the waste land.
