We grope like those who have no eyes.
We stumble at midday as in the twilight;
Among those who are healthy we are like dead men.

Like those who have long been dead.

Then they will fall and be broken,
They will even be snared and trapped.”

Before He brings darkness
And before your feet stumble
On the dark and shadowy mountains,
And while you are longing for light
He turns it into the shadow of death,
And makes it into thick darkness.

They were defiled with blood
So that no one could touch their garments.
