³⁰ In that day^(A) they will roar over it
    like the roaring of the sea.^(B)
And if one looks at the land,
    there is only darkness^(C) and distress;^(D)
    even the sun will be darkened^(E) by clouds.

⁹ So justice is far from us,
    and righteousness does not reach us.
We look for light, but all is darkness;^(A)
    for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.

¹⁰ Like the blind^(A) we grope along the wall,
    feeling our way like people without eyes.
At midday we stumble^(B) as if it were twilight;
    among the strong, we are like the dead.^(C)

“I will make the sun go down at noon
    and darken the earth in broad daylight.^(A)
