Strong's Number H2822 matches the Hebrew חֹשֶׁךְ (ḥōšeḵ),
which occurs 23 times in 23 verses in 'Job'
in the WLC Hebrew.
“Let darkness and gloom claim it for their own;
Let a cloud settle upon it;
Let all that blackens the day terrify it (the day that I was born).
Before I go—and I shall not return—
To the land of darkness and the deep shadow [of death],
“He uncovers mysteries [that are difficult to grasp and understand] out of the darkness
And brings black gloom and the shadow of death into light.
“They grope in darkness without light,
And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.”
“He does not believe that he will return out of the darkness [for fear of being murdered],
And he is destined for the sword [of God’s vengeance].
“He wanders about for food, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that the day of darkness and destruction is already at hand.
“He will not escape from darkness [fleeing disaster];
The flame [of God’s wrath] will wither his branch,
And by the blast of His mouth he will go away.
“These [thoughts try to] make the night into the day;
‘The light is near,’ they say in the presence of darkness [but they pervert the truth].
“But if I look to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) as my home,
If I make my bed in the darkness,
“He is driven and propelled from light into darkness,
And chased from the inhabited world.
“He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass,
And He has set darkness upon my paths.
Complete darkness (misfortune) is held in reserve for his treasures.
An unfanned fire will devour him;
It will consume the survivor in his tent.
But I am not silenced by the darkness [of these woes that fell on me],
Nor by the thick darkness which covers my face.
“In the dark they dig into [the penetrable walls of] houses;
They shut themselves up by day;
They do not know the light [of day].
“He has inscribed a circular limit (the horizon) on the face of the waters
At the boundary between light and darkness.
“Man puts an end to darkness [by bringing in a light],
And to the farthest bounds he searches out
The rock buried in gloom and deep shadow.
“Tell us [Job] what words [of man] shall we say to such a Being;
We cannot state our case because of darkness [that is, our ignorance in the presence of the unsearchable God].
