They are gaunt from want and famine, gnawing the dry ground recently made desolate and waste;

who pluck mallow by the bushes, and broom tree roots for their food.

When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.

Let them wander up and down for food, and pass the night unsatisfied.

Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; let them seek their bread also from the waste.

We have given the hand to Egypt, to Assyria, to be satisfied with bread.

We bring in our bread at the risk of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.

They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tried, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, oppressed;

of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

The light of the wicked shall be extinguished, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.

The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp beside him shall be extinguished.

His strength is starved, and calamity is ready at his side.

He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

But if a man lives many years, and rejoices in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that has come is vanity.

a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread out on the mountains, a great and a strong people. There has never been the like, nor shall there ever be again to the years of many generations;

Is not the day of Jehovah darkness, and not light; even very dark, and not any brightness in it?

That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of desolation and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour those who oppose.
