# The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish
|

Isaiah speaks of people who are spiritually lost as if they were walking around in total darkness. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Yahweh will remove the darkness from her who was in anguish" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# The gloom

This word means "partial or total darkness." Translate as you translated "gloom" in [Isaiah 8:22](../08/22.md).
