1 Samuel 2:9

King James Version

⁹He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

⁵May gloom and utter darkness^(A) claim it once more;
may a cloud settle over it;
may blackness overwhelm it.

⁵Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

⁵“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.^(A)
They walk about in darkness;^(B)
all the foundations^(C) of the earth are shaken.

⁵They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
