TSK · Proverbs 4:19

He watches over his holy ones, but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness, for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails.

They grope about in darkness without light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.

He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world.

who leave the upright paths to walk on the dark ways,

Israel Confesses its Sin For this reason deliverance is far from us and salvation does not reach us. We wait for light, but see only darkness; we wait for a bright light, but live in deep darkness.

Show the LORD your God the respect that is due him. Do it before he brings the darkness of disaster. Do it before you stumble into distress like a traveler on the mountains at twilight. Do it before he turns the light of deliverance you hope for into the darkness and gloom of exile.

Then I will declare to them,‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’

But if anyone walks around at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

But the one who hates his fellow Christian is in the darkness, walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
