Page 1 / 2 (Gen 1:2–Ecc 2:13)
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” There was an evening, and there was a morning: one day.
to rule the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and there will be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt.”
So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness throughout the land of Egypt for three days.
It came between the Egyptian and Israelite forces. There was cloud and darkness, it lit up the night, and neither group came near the other all night long.
“You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire into the heavens and enveloped in a totally black cloud.
“All of you approached me with your tribal leaders and elders when you heard the voice from the darkness and while the mountain was blazing with fire.
“At nightfall, when the city gate was about to close, the men went out, and I don’t know where they were going. Chase after them quickly, and you can catch up with them! ”
He guards the steps[fn] of his faithful ones,
but the wicked perish in darkness,
for a person does not prevail by his own strength.
If only that day had turned to darkness!
May God above not care about it,
or light shine on it.
May darkness and gloom reclaim it,
and a cloud settle over it.
May what darkens the day terrify it.
He reveals mysteries from the darkness
and brings the deepest darkness into the light.
He wanders about for food, asking, “Where is it? ”
He knows the day of darkness is at hand.
He will not escape from the darkness;
flames will wither his shoots,
and by the breath of God’s mouth, he will depart.
He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through;
he has veiled my paths with darkness.
Total darkness is reserved for his treasures.
A fire unfanned by human hands will consume him;
it will feed on what is left in his tent.
Yet I am not destroyed[fn] by the darkness,
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters
at the boundary between light and darkness.
A miner puts an end to the darkness;
he probes[fn] the deepest recesses
for ore in the gloomy darkness.
Teach us what we should say to him;
we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
Will your wonders be known in the darkness
or your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
Light shines in the darkness for the upright.
He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me,
and the light around me will be night” —
even the darkness is not dark to you.
The night shines like the day;
darkness and light are alike to you.
