10 Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness,

prisoners suffering in iron chains,

10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

prisoners in affliction and in irons,

10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron;

10 Some sat in darkness and deepest gloom,

imprisoned in iron chains of misery.

10 Some sat in gloom and darkness;

they were prisoners suffering in chains.

10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Being bound in affliction and iron,

10 Such as inhabit darkness and the shadow of death, bound in affliction and iron,

10 Those who lived in the dark, in death’s shadow 

were prisoners in misery. 

They were held in iron chains 

10 Others sat in darkness and gloom —

prisoners in cruel chains —

10 Some sat in darkness and in gloom,

prisoners in misery and in irons,

10 Those who sat in darkness and gloom,

prisoners of misery and iron—

10 Others lived in the deepest darkness.

They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.

10 There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Prisoners in misery and chains,
