Commentary
﴿It will overwhelm her﴾ means it will cover her, conquer her, and rise above her. ﴿A darkness﴾ means like a cloudiness, blackness, and gloom, which is the opposite of brightness. So it is weeping and frowning because of what it experienced in the world (p-273) from joy, play, laughter, and security from punishment. The verse is from the concept of juxtaposition: mentioning brightness and gladness first indicates fear and terror secondly. And mentioning the darkness secondly indicates brightness and light first. The secret of this is that it mentioned the evidence of comfort and the evidence of fatigue for their appearance, encouraging and frightening.
