That is why it is so dark you cannot see and a flood of water covers you.
You will forget your trouble and remember it only as water gone by.
They will be driven from light into darkness and chased out of the world.
The light in their tents will grow dark, and the lamps by their sides will go out.
God has blocked my way so I cannot pass; he has covered my paths with darkness.
“They are like foam floating on the water. Their part of the land is cursed; no one uses the road that goes by their vineyards.
“Can you shout an order to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water?
Darkness covers them up in the daytime; even at noon they feel around in the dark.
Troubles have come again and again, sounding like waterfalls. Your waves are crashing all around me.
But the wicked walk around in the dark; they can’t even see what makes them stumble.
They will look around them at their land and see only trouble, darkness, and awful gloom. And they will be forced into the darkness.
He led me into darkness, not light.
Water came up over my head, and I said, “I am going to die.”
You threw me into the sea, down, down into the deep sea. The water was all around me, and your powerful waves flowed over me.
But those people who should be in the kingdom will be thrown outside into the darkness, where people will cry and grind their teeth with pain.”
