Isaiah 8:22
King James Version (KJV)
And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
In context
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
