The lamp in their tents will be darkened.

They will be driven out of the land of the living, driven from light into darkness.

God has blocked the way, and I can't get through; he has hidden my path in darkness.

The road of the wicked, however, is dark as night. They fall, but cannot see what they have stumbled over.

or stare at the ground, but they will see nothing but trouble and darkness, terrifying darkness into which they are being driven.

He drove me deeper and deeper into darkness

It will be a dark and gloomy day, a black and cloudy day. The great army of locusts advances like darkness spreading over the mountains. There has never been anything like it, and there never will be again.

Like fire they eat up the plants. In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them it is a barren desert. Nothing escapes them.

But those who should be in the Kingdom will be thrown out into the darkness, where they will cry and gnash their teeth."

(SEE 42:6)

Save me, O God! The water is up to my neck;

I am sinking in deep mud, and there is no solid ground; I am out in deep water, and the waves are about to drown me.

then the flood would have carried us away, the water would have covered us,

Water began to close over me, and I thought death was near.

You threw me down into the depths, to the very bottom of the sea, where the waters were all around me, and all your mighty waves rolled over me.
