May its morning stars grow dark.

May it wait for daylight but have none;

may it not see the breaking[fn] of dawn.

The light in his tent grows dark,

and the lamp beside him is put out.

Who is this who obscures my counsel

with ignorant words?

Let their eyes grow too dim to see,

and let their hips continually quake.

He sent darkness, and it became dark —

for did they not defy his commands?

even the darkness is not dark to you.

The night shines like the day;

darkness and light are alike to you.

before the sun and the light are darkened,

and the moon and the stars,

and the clouds return after[fn] the rain;

On that day they will roar over it,

like the roaring of the sea.

When one looks at the land,

there will be darkness and distress;

light will be obscured by clouds.[fn]

Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations[fn]

will not give their light.

The sun will be dark when it rises,

and the moon will not shine.

Give glory to the LORD your God

before he brings darkness,

before your feet stumble

on the mountains at dusk.

but he brings darkest gloom[fn]

and makes total darkness.

they are not recognized in the streets.

Their skin has shriveled on their bones;

because of these, our eyes grow dim:

“The day will be dark[fn] in Tehaphnehes,

when I break the yoke of Egypt there

and its proud strength

comes to an end in the city.

A cloud will cover Tehaphnehes,[fn]

and its surrounding villages will go into captivity.

The one who made the Pleiades and Orion,

who turns darkness[fn] into dawn

and darkens day into night,

who summons the water of the sea

and pours it out over the surface of the earth —

the LORD is his name.

And in that day —

this is the declaration of the Lord GOD —

I will make the sun go down at noon;

I will darken the land in the daytime.

Therefore, it will be night for you —

without visions;

it will grow dark for you —

without divination.

The sun will set on these prophets,

and the daylight will turn black over them.
