21 before I go to the place of no return,

to the land of gloom and utter darkness,

22 to the land of deepest night,

of utter darkness and disorder,

where even the light is like darkness.”

21 before I go—and I shall not return—

to the land of darkness and deep shadow,

22 the land of gloom like thick darkness,

like deep shadow without any order,

where light is as thick darkness.”

21 Before I go whence I shall not return,

Even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself;

And of the shadow of death, without any order,

And where the light is as darkness.

21 before I leave—never to return—

for the land of darkness and utter gloom.

22 It is a land as dark as midnight,

a land of gloom and confusion,

where even the light is dark as midnight.’ ”

21 Soon I will leave; I will not return

from the land of darkness and gloom,

22 the land of darkest night,

from the land of gloom and confusion,

where even the light is darkness.”

21 Before I go whence I shall not return,

Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

22 The land dark as midnight,

The land of the shadow of death, without any order,

And where the light is as midnight.

21 Before I go, and never to return, —to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; 22 A land of gloom, as darkness itself; of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as thick darkness.

21 before I go away 

to a land of darkness and gloom, 

22 to a dismal land of long shadows and confusion 

where light is as bright as darkness. 

I’ll never return.’ ” 

21 before I go to a land of darkness and gloom,

never to return.

22 It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness,

gloomy and chaotic,

where even the light is like the darkness.”

21 before I go, never to return,

to the land of gloom and deep darkness,

22 the land of gloom and chaos,

where light is like darkness.”

21 Before I go—and I will not return—

to the land of darkness and deep shadow,

22 to the land of darkness,

like the darkness of a deep shadow and chaos,

so that it shines forth like darkness.’ ”

21 Turn away before I go to the place I can’t return from.

It’s the land of darkness and deep shadow.

22 It’s the land of darkest night

and deep shadow and disorder.

There even the light is like darkness.’ ”

21 Before I go—and I shall not return—

To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

22 The land of utter gloom as darkness itself,

Of deep shadow without order,

And which shines as the darkness.”
