- darkness:
- As the Egyptians not only worshipped the light and sun, but also paid the same veneration to night and darkness, nothing could be more terrible than this punishment of palpable and coercive darkness, such as their luminary Osiris could not dispel. See Bryant, pp. 141-160. "Let their wayª be¹ darkª and slippery:ª and let the angelª of the LORDª persecuteª° them." {Psa 35:6} + "He castª° upon them the fiercenessª of his anger,ª wrath,ª and indignation,ª and trouble,ª by sendingª evilª angelsª [among them]." {Psa 78:49} + "He sentª° darkness,ª and made it dark;ª° and they rebelledª° not¹ against¹ his word.ª" {Psa 105:28} + "The wayª of the wickedª [is] as darkness:ª they knowª° not¹ at what¹ they stumble.ª°" {Prv 4:19} + "The wise man'sª eyesª [are] in his head;ª but the foolª walkethª° in darkness:ª and I myself¹ perceivedª° also¹ that one² eventª¹¹ happenethª° to¹ them all.¹" {Ecc 2:14} + "For¹ he comethª° in with vanity,ª and departeth²°¹ in darkness,ª and his nameª shall be coveredª° with darkness.ª" {Ecc 6:4} + "And they shall passª° through it, hardly besteadª° and hungry:²¹ and it shall come to pass,¹ that when¹ they shall be hungry,ª° they shall fret²° themselves,¹ and curseª° their kingª and their God,ª and lookª° upward.ª ... And they shall lookª° unto¹ the earth;ª and behold¹ troubleª and darkness,ª dimnessª of anguish;ª and [they shall be] drivenª° to darkness.ª" {Isa 8:21-22} + "Nowª fromª the sixthª hourª there wasª° darknessª overª allª the¹ landª untoª the ninthª hour.ª" {Mtt 27:45} + "Andª when²° the sixthª hourª was come,ª° there wasª° darknessª overª the¹ wholeª landª untilª the ninthª hour.ª" {Mrk 15:33} + "Andª it wasª° aboutª the sixthª hour,ª andª there wasª° a darknessª overª allª the¹ earthª untilª the ninthª hour.ª" {Lke 23:44} + "Forª ifª Godª sparedª° notª the angelsª that sinned,ª° butª cast [them] down to hell,ª° and deliveredª° [them] into chainsª of darkness,ª to be reservedª° untoª judgment;ª" {2Pe 2:4} + "Theseª areª° wellsª without water,ª cloudsª that are carriedª° withª a tempest;ª to whomª the¹ mistª of darknessª is reservedª° forª¹ ever.²" {2Pe 2:17} + "Andª the angelsª which keptª° notª theirª first estate,ª butª leftª° their ownª habitation,ª he hath reservedª° in everlastingª chainsª underª darknessª untoª the judgmentª of the greatª day.ª" {Jde 1:6} + "Ragingª wavesª of the sea,ª foaming outª° their ownª shame;ª wanderingª stars,ª to whomª is reservedª° the¹ blacknessª of darknessª for² ever.ª¹" {Jde 1:13} + "Andª the¹ fifthª angelª poured outª° his²¹ vialª uponª the¹ seatª of the¹ beast;ª andª his²¹ kingdomª wasª° full of darkness;ª° andª they gnawedª° their²¹ tonguesª forª pain,ª ... Andª blasphemedª° the¹ Godª of heavenª because ofª their²¹ painsª andªª their²¹ sores,ª andª repentedª° notª ofª their²¹ deeds.ª" {Rev 16:10-11}
