If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night;
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; Even the night shall be light about me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be [the only] light about me,
If I said, “The darkness will definitely hide me; the light will become night around me,”
Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
