The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.
So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us; we hope for light, and behold, darkness, and for brightness, but we walk in gloom. We grope for the wall like the blind; we grope like those who have no eyes; we stumble at noon as in the twilight, among those in full vigor we are like dead men.
Therefore their way shall be to them like slippery paths in the darkness, into which they shall be driven and fall, for I will bring disaster upon them in the year of their punishment, declares the Lord.
“Indeed, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine. The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out.
“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness, for not by might shall a man prevail.
Give glory to the Lord your God before he brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the twilight mountains, and while you look for light he turns it into gloom and makes it deep darkness.
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,
He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world.
They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.
They meet with darkness in the daytime and grope at noonday as in the night.
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
