And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.

All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.

That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:

Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.

In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
