| The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 22 up, down, and sideways - and seeing nothing, A blank wall, an empty hole. They end up in the dark with nothing. | 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom, and they will be thrust into utter darkness. |
