to the land of utter darkness, like the deepest darkness, and the deepest shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”

Yet I have not been silent because of the darkness, because of the thick darkness that covered my face.

That night – let darkness seize it; let it not be included among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months!

Man puts an end to the darkness; he searches the farthest recesses for the ore in the deepest darkness.

But when I hoped for good, trouble came; when I expected light, then darkness came.
