And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

The verse 22 is found in chapter 8 of Isaiah. Isaiah is commanded not to follow the path of a people dominated by fear. Yahweh must be recognized as holy and as the true object of fear. The section contrasts trusting God with consulting occult sources and ends by describing the darkness of those who reject divine instruction.

und werden über sich gaffen und unter sich die Erde ansehen und nichts finden als Trübsal und Finsternis; denn sie sind im Dunkel der Angst und gehen irre im Finstern.
Y mirarán a la tierra, y he aquí tribulación y tiniebla, oscuridad y angustia; y serán sumidos en las tinieblas.
Mirará hacia la tierra y solo habrá tribulación y oscuridad, tinieblas de angustia; será arrojado a la oscuridad.
Puis il regardera vers la terre, Et voici, il n'y aura que détresse, obscurité et de sombres angoisses: Il sera repoussé dans d'épaisses ténèbres.
Poi rivolgerà lo sguardo verso la terra, ed ecco, distretta, ed oscurità, e tenebre di angoscia; ed egli sarà sospinto nella caligine
E, olhando para a terra, eis que haverá angústia e escuridão, e sombras de ansiedade, e serão empurrados para as trevas.
俯察下地,看哪,盡是艱難、黑暗和駭人的昏暗。他必被趕入幽暗中去。
