'Shades' in the Bible
Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.
As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
O Lord, God of my salvation, I have been crying to you for help by day and by night:
For her house is on the way down to death; her footsteps go down to the shades:
The wanderer from the way of knowledge will have his resting-place among the shades.
The underworld is moved at your coming: the shades of the dead are awake before you, even the strong ones of the earth; all the kings of the world have got up from their seats.
Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.
Make war ready against her; up! let us go up when the sun is high. Sorrow is ours! for the day is turned and the shades of evening are stretched out.
