-
Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it.
-
Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning,
-
Or why was I not as a hidden stillborn child, as infants who never see the light?
-
“Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,
-
Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
-
the land of gloom like thick darkness, like deep shadow without any order, where light is as thick darkness.”
-
He uncovers the deeps out of darkness and brings deep darkness to light.
-
They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.
-
They make night into day: ‘The light,’ they say, ‘is near to the darkness.’
-
“Indeed, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.
-
The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out.
-
He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world.
-
You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.
-
“There are those who rebel against the light, who are not acquainted with its ways, and do not stay in its paths.
-
The murderer rises before it is light, that he may kill the poor and needy, and in the night he is like a thief.
-
In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves up; they do not know the light.
-
Is there any number to his armies? Upon whom does his light not arise?
-
He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
-
He dams up the streams so that they do not trickle, and the thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
-
when he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
-
when his lamp shone upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,
-
I smiled on them when they had no confidence, and the light of my face they did not cast down.
-
But when I hoped for good, evil came, and when I waited for light, darkness came.
-
He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light.’
-
to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life.
-
Behold, he scatters his lightning about him and covers the roots of the sea.
-
He covers his hands with the lightning and commands it to strike the mark.
-
Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.
-
After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
-
He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning.
-
Do you know how God lays his command upon them and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
-
“And now no one looks on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them.
-
From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.
-
“Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,
-
What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
-
Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, ‘Here we are’?
-
His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn.
