even at noon they grope in darkness.

Then they struck all the men outside with blindness, so that they couldn't find the door.

You will grope about in broad daylight like someone blind, and you will not be able to find your way. You will not prosper in anything you do. You will be constantly oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to help you.

and we grope about like blind people. We stumble at noon, as if it were night, as if we were in the dark world of the dead.

The Lord's hand will come down on you now; you will be blind and will not see the light of day for a time." At once Elymas felt a dark mist cover his eyes, and he walked around trying to find someone to lead him by the hand.

But if we hate others, we are in the darkness; we walk in it and do not know where we are going, because the darkness has made us blind.

they stumbled and staggered like drunks--- all their skill was useless.

The LORD has made them give confusing advice. As a result, Egypt does everything wrong and staggers like a drunk slipping on his own vomit.

The earth itself will stagger like a drunk, sway like a hut in a storm. The world is weighed down by its sins; it will collapse and never rise again.
