Isaiah 5:30 warns of a coming darkness: 'if one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in its clouds.' This rare noun refers to clouds, possibly the thick, heavy kind that blot out the sun. One scholar proposes emending the text to read 'through its brightness,' referring instead to the land, but the transmitted Hebrew has 'clouds.' The image is apocalyptic—light swallowed by ominous cloud cover, symbolizing judgment and gloom. Spanish uses 'por sus nubes' (by/through its clouds), maintaining the meteorological reference. The verse closes Isaiah's woe oracles with a vision of deepening doom.
