For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

Quia ecce tenebræ operient terram, et caligo populos ; super te autem orietur Dominus, et gloria ejus in te videbitur.

Vulgate

ἰδοὺ σκότος καλύψει γῆν, καὶ γνόφος ἐπ’ ἔθνη· ἐπὶ δὲ σὲ φανήσεται Κύριος, καὶ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ σὲ ὀφθήσεται·

LXX

For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
