⁸ My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth.

⁷ He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made heavy my fetter.

²³ To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up?

⁹ He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.

⁶ Therefore, lo, I am hedging up thy way with thorns, And I have made for her a wall, And her paths she doth not find.

¹² Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'

¹² Therefore is their way to them as slippery places, Into thick darkness they are driven, And they have fallen in it, For I bring in against them evil, The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁶ Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed `it' for thick darkness.

¹⁰ Who `is' among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean upon his God.

¹⁹ The way of the wicked `is' as darkness, They have not known at what they stumble.

⁸ Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth.

²⁶ When good I expected, then cometh evil, And I wait for light, and darkness cometh.

⁷ and they cry unto Jehovah, and He setteth thick darkness between you and the Egyptians, and bringeth on them the sea, and covereth them, and your eyes see that which I have done in Egypt; and ye dwell in a wilderness many days.
