And behold, O Lord, in them there is no light,; whither shall we steer.—? And also we shall perish, for in them we cannot breathe, save it is the air which is in them; therefore we shall perish.
Simple English
“Lord, there is no light in them. How will we steer? We will die because we can’t breathe. The only air in them is what’s already there. So we will die.”
Paraphrase
“But Lord, there’s no light in them. How will we steer? And we’ll die because we can’t breathe except for the air that’s already trapped inside. We’ll suffocate.”
