These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.   For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;  promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.  2 Peter 2:17-19

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over. Proverbs 4:19

…wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.  Jude 1:13

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going. John 12:35

They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man. Job 12:25

Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines. 
He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.   He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.   But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:8-11

Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep darkness. Jeremiah 13:16

Yahweh of Armies is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.  He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel, he will be a stumbling stone and a rock that makes them fall. For the people of Jerusalem, he will be a trap and a snare.   Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”   Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.  I will wait for Yahweh, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.  Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of Armies, who dwells in Mount Zion.  When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:” shouldn’t a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?  Turn to the law and to the testimony! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.   They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward, and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness. Isaiah 8:13-22
