⁹ But Saul, who was also called Paul [^CSaul was his Jewish name; Paul his Roman name (both probably given at birth)], was filled with the Holy Spirit. He looked ·straight [intently] at Elymas ¹⁰ and said, “You son of the devil! You are an enemy of ·everything that is right [all righteousness]! You are full of ·lies [deceit] and ·evil tricks [fraud; evil schemes], ·always trying to change the Lord’s truths into lies [^Lwill you never stop making crooked/perverting the straight paths of the Lord?]. ¹¹ Now [^Llook; ^Tbehold] the [^Lhand of the] Lord will touch you, and you will be blind. For a time you will not be able to see anything—not even the light from the sun.”

Then ·everything became dark for [^Lmist and darkness fell upon] Elymas, and he walked around, trying to find someone to lead him by the hand.
