20 The dismal darkness thou dost make, [And then] the day gives place to night, And in the Forests then come forth, Wild beasts that shun [Man and] the Light.
21 The hungry Lyons with their whelps [Do then] go roaring all abroad After their prey, and fiercely seek Their sustenance [assigned] from God.
21 The hungry Lyons with their whelps [Do then] go roaring all abroad After their prey, and fiercely seek Their sustenance [assign'd] from God.
22 But when the shining Sun doth rise, They get [away] together then For fear of Man; and lay them down For [rest and] safety in their den:
23 Then Man goes forth unto his work, [When he] enjoys desired light, His proper labour he pursues, Till the approach of [resting] night.
