Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Han tror ikke han vil komme seg ut av mørket, for han vet at døden venter på ham. Han flakker omkring i jakt etter brød, og sier: ‘Hvor er det?’ Han vet at mørke dager ligger foran ham. Han blir forskrekket over lidelsen og nøden som får makten over ham. Slik går det med ham som er truende mot Gud, og som setter seg opp mot Den Allmektige.
