'Gloom' in the Bible
“Let darkness and gloom claim it for their own;Let a cloud settle upon it;Let all that blackens the day terrify it (the day that I was born).
The [sunless] land of utter gloom as darkness itself,[The land] of the shadow of death, without order,And [where] it shines as [thick] darkness.”
“He uncovers mysteries [that are difficult to grasp and understand] out of the darknessAnd brings black gloom and the shadow of death into light.
“Man puts an end to darkness [by bringing in a light],And to the farthest bounds he searches outThe rock buried in gloom and deep shadow.
“They are gaunt with want and famine;They gnaw the dry and barren ground by night in [the gloom of] waste and desolation.
“There is no darkness nor deep shadowWhere the evildoers may hide themselves.
