26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;

when I looked for light, then came darkness.

26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me:

And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

26 So I looked for good, but evil came instead.

I waited for the light, but darkness fell.

26 But when I looked for good, evil came to me;

And when I waited for light, then came darkness.

26 But when I hoped for good, only evil came to me;

when I looked for light, darkness came.

26 When I looked for good, then evil came;

And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

26 For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.

26 When I waited for good, evil came. 

When I looked for light, darkness came. 

26 But when I hoped for good, evil came;

when I looked for light, darkness came.

26 But when I looked for good, evil came;

and when I waited for light, darkness came.

26 Indeed, I hoped for good, but evil came,

and I waited for light, but darkness came.

26 I hoped good things would happen, but something evil came.

I looked for light, but all I saw was darkness.

26 “When I expected good, then evil came;

When I waited for light, then darkness came.
