Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness spreads over Egypt— darkness that can be felt.”

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt.”

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Lift your hand toward heaven, and the land of Egypt will be covered with a darkness so thick you can feel it.”

Then the LORD said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and there will be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt.”

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Reach out with your hand toward the sky, so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt.”

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt.”

And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and there will be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt.”

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness[ which] may be felt.

The LORD said to Moses,“ Extend your hand toward heaven so that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness so thick it can be felt.”

The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast. The kingdom of the beast became very dark. People chewed on their tongues because they were suffering so much.They spoke evil things against the God of heaven. They did this because of their pains and their sores. But they refused to turn away from the sins they had committed.

It was now about noon. Then darkness covered the whole land until three o’clock.

God did not spare angels when they sinned. Instead, he sent them to hell. He chained them up in dark prisons. He will keep them there until he judges them.

These people are like springs without water. They are like mists driven by a storm. The blackest darkness is reserved for them.

Some of the angels didn’t stay where they belonged. They didn’t keep their positions of authority. The Lord has kept those angels in darkness. They are held by chains that last forever. On judgment day, God will judge them.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ Reach out your hand toward the sky. Then hail will fall all over Egypt. It will beat down on people and animals alike. It will strike everything growing in the fields of Egypt.”

But the way of those who do what is wrong is like deep darkness. They don’t know what makes them trip and fall.

At noon, darkness covered the whole land. It lasted three hours.

The Lord sent darkness over the land. He did it because the Egyptians had refused to obey his words.

From noon until three o’clock, the whole land was covered with darkness.

Even at noon you will have to feel your way around like a blind person in the dark. You won’t have success in anything you do. Day after day you will be robbed and treated badly. No one will be able to save you.

They will suffer and be hungry. They’ll wander through the land. When they are very hungry, they will become angry. They’ll look up toward heaven. They’ll ask for bad things to happen to their king and their God.Then they will look at the earth. They’ll see nothing but suffering and darkness. They’ll see terrible sadness. They’ll be driven into total darkness.

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.

Because he was so angry with Egypt, he caused them to have great trouble. In his great anger he sent destroying angels against them.

The eyes of a wise person see things clearly. A person who is foolish lives in darkness. But I finally realized that death catches up with both of them.

That kind of birth doesn’t have any meaning. The baby dies in darkness and leaves this world. And in darkness it is forgotten.

Let their path be dark and slippery, while the angel of the Lord chases them.
