Dwellers in Darkness and Deep Shadow
Figuratively: the dead, or wretched people full of suffering.
("Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners of misery and iron. For they rebelled against the words of God and spurned the counsel of the Most High" - Psalms 107:10, and also: "But from hearing her words at that moment... it seemed to me that indeed we had until then been dwellers in darkness and deep shadow" - A. Amir / Love of Saul, 100)
