الْجُلُوسَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلاَلِ الْمَوْتِ، مُوثَقِينَ بِالذُّلِّ وَالْحَدِيدِ.Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;Psalms 107:10, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَإِنَّ مِصْرَ تُعِينُ بَاطِلاً وَعَبَثًا، لِذلِكَ دَعَوْتُهَا «رَهَبَ الْجُلُوسِ».For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.Isaiah 30:7, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
وَوَجَدَ فِي الْهَيْكَلِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَبِيعُونَ بَقَرًا وَغَنَمًا وَحَمَامًا، وَالصَّيَارِفَ جُلُوسًا.And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:John 2:14, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
