I clothe the heavens in darkness and cover them with sackcloth.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Lift your hand toward the sky, and a darkness ⌞so thick⌟ that it can be felt will come over Egypt.”
The stars in the sky and their constellations won’t show their light anymore. The sun will be dark when it rises. The moon won’t shine.
They will look at the earth and see only distress and gloom. They will go in anguish and be forced into darkness.
The earth will mourn, and the sky will grow black. I have spoken, and I have planned it. I won’t change my plans, and I won’t turn back.
At noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.
I watched as the lamb opened the sixth seal. A powerful earthquake struck. The sun turned as black as sackcloth made of hair. The full moon turned as red as blood.
