granting his petition to him that prays; and He blesses the years of the righteous, for by strength cannot man prevail.

In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noonday even as in the night.

Let them grope [in] darkness, and [let there be] no light, and let them wander as a drunken man.

But the light of the ungodly shall be quenched, and their flame shall not go up.

His light [shall be] darkness in [his] habitation, and his lamp shall be put out with him.

Let [one] drive him from light into darkness.

Therefore has judgment departed from them, and righteousness shall not overtake them; while they waited for light, darkness came upon them; while they waited for brightness, they walked in perplexity.

They shall feel for the wall as blind [men], and shall feel [for it] as if they had no eyes; and they shall feel at noonday as at midnight; they shall groan as dying men.

Give glory to the Lord your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.

Therefore let their way be slippery and dark to them, and they shall be tripped up and fall in it; for I will bring evils upon them, in the year of their visitation.

"And then I will confess to them, 'I never knew you! Depart from Me, you who work iniquity!'

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guides the blind, both will fall into a ditch."

Then Jesus said to them, "[For] yet a little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
