16
Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;
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 look unto the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and into thick darkness (they shall be) driven away.
Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us: we look for light, but, behold, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.
Neither said they, Where is Jehovah that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death, through a land that none passed through, and where no man dwelt?
Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery places in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
So they called a second time the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is a sinner.
But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.
