¹⁰ And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places.

³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins -- being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,

³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and `in' mountains, and `in' caves, and `in' the holes of the earth;

²⁷ but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;

¹⁵ A day of wrath `is' that day, A day of adversity and distress, A day of waste and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of cloud and thick darkness.

²⁰ Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that hath no brightness?

⁴ Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots `is' their food.

¹⁸ They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the habitable earth cast him out.

⁵ Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire.

⁶ The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished.

¹² when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'
