1 Samuel 2:9

2:9 He watches over¹ his holy ones,²

but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness,

for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails.

Ayub 3:5

3:5 Let darkness and the deepest

shadow³ claim it;⁴

let a cloud settle on it;

let whatever blackens the day⁵ terrify it!

82:5 They⁶ neither know nor understand.

They stumble⁷ around in the dark,

while all the foundations of the earth crumble.⁸
