When I looked for good, then evil came; And when I waited for light, there came darkness.
And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold, darkness (and) distress; and the light is darkened in the clouds thereof.
And they shall pass through it, sore distressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and turn their faces upward:
and they shall look unto the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness (they shall be) driven away.
And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.
For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
