Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom, and they will be thrust into utter darkness.

When one looks out over the land, he sees distress and darkness, gloom and anxiety, darkness and people forced from the land.

and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.

At that time the enemy army will roar over Israel. It will sound like the roaring of the ocean. If someone looks at the land of Israel, there is only darkness and trouble. The clouds will make even the sun become dark.

Give glory to the Lord your God. Honor him before he sends darkness to cover the land. Do this before you trip and fall on the darkened hills. You hope that light will come. But he will turn it into thick darkness. He will change it to deep shadows.

They are like wild waves of the sea. Their shame rises up like foam. They are like falling stars. God has reserved a place of very black darkness for them forever.

The great day of the Lord is near. In fact, it is coming quickly. The cries on that day are bitter. The Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.At that time I will pour out my anger. There will be great suffering and pain. It will be a day of horrible trouble. It will be a time of darkness and gloom. It will be filled with the blackest clouds.

But those who think they belong in the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness. There they will weep and grind their teeth.”

Ask and see. Can a man give birth to children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach? Each of them is acting like a woman having a baby. Every face is as pale as death.How awful that day will be! No other day will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for the people of Jacob. But they will be saved out of it.

“ Then the king told his slaves,‘ Tie up his hands and feet. Throw him outside into the darkness. Out there people will weep and grind their teeth.’

When trouble comes, sinners are brought down. But godly people seek safety in God even as they die.

They are driven from light into the place of darkness. They are thrown out of the world.

Follow what the Lord taught you and said to you through me. People who don’t speak in keeping with these words will have no hope in the morning.

“ Right after the terrible suffering of those days,“‘ The sun will be darkened. The moon will not shine. The stars will fall from the sky. The heavenly bodies will be shaken.’( Isaiah 13:10; 34:4)

In those days it wasn’t safe to travel around. The people who lived in all the areas of the land were having a lot of trouble.One nation was crushing another. One city was crushing another. That’s because God was causing them to suffer terribly.

So their path will become slippery. They will be thrown out into darkness. There they will fall. I will bring trouble on them when the time to punish them comes,” announces the Lord.

How terrible it will be for you who long for the day of the Lord! Why do you want it to come? That day will be dark, not light.It will be like a man running away from a lion only to meet a bear. He enters his house and rests his hand on a wall only to be bitten by a snake.The day of the Lord will be dark, not light. It will be very black. There won’t be a ray of sunlight anywhere.

“ There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. The nations of the earth will be in terrible pain. They will be puzzled by the roaring and tossing of the sea.Terror will make people faint. They will be worried about what is happening in the world. The sun, moon and stars will be shaken from their places.

But there won’t be any more sadness for those who were suffering. In the past the Lord brought shame on the land of Zebulun. He also brought shame on the land of Naphtali. But in days to come he will honor Galilee, where people from other nations live. He will honor the land along the Mediterranean Sea. And he will honor the territory east of the Jordan River.
