A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 10 of Job. Job considers the possibility that suffering may have been hidden within God’s purpose, although he cannot understand it. If he is guilty, he fears judgment; if he is righteous, he still experiences affliction. Finally, he asks God to turn his gaze away so that he may enjoy some rest before dying.

ins Land da es stockfinster ist und da keine Ordnung ist, und wenn's hell wird, so ist es wie Finsternis.
Tierra de oscuridad, lóbrega Como sombra de muerte, sin orden, Y que aparece como la oscuridad misma.
a una tierra de oscuridad profunda, de sombra de muerte y de desorden, donde aun la luz es como las tinieblas”».
Pays d'une obscurité profonde, Où règnent l'ombre de la mort et la confusion, Et où la lumière est semblable aux ténèbres.
Alla terra d’oscurità simile a caligine; D’ombra di morte, ove non è ordine alcuno; E la quale, quando fa chiaro, è simile a caligine
Terra escuríssima, como a própria escuridão, terra da sombra da morte e sem ordem alguma, e onde a luz é como a escuridão.
那是烏黑之地, 猶如幽暗的死蔭, 毫無秩序; 發出的光輝也像幽暗。」
