give you light;

but the Lord will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your glory.

and your days of mourning shall be ended.

Your people shall all be righteous;

they shall possess the land forever,

the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,

that I might be glorified.

The least one shall become a clan,

and the smallest one a mighty nation;

I am the Lord;

in its time I will hasten it.

“No longer will you need the sun to shine by day,

nor the moon to give its light by night,

for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your glory.

Your sun will never set;

your moon will not go down.

For the Lord will be your everlasting light.

Your days of mourning will come to an end.

All your people will be righteous.

They will possess their land forever,

for I will plant them there with my own hands

in order to bring myself glory.

The smallest family will become a thousand people,

and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation.

At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

The sun shall no longer be your light by day,

and for bright light the moon shall not give you light,

but Yahweh will be your everlasting light,

Your sun shall no longer go down,

and your moon shall not wane,

for Yahweh himself will be your everlasting light,

and your days of mourning shall come to an end.

And all your people shall be righteous;

they shall take possession of the land forever,

the shoot of his planting,

the work of my hands, to show my glory.

The small one shall become a tribe,

and the smallest one a mighty nation.

I am Yahweh; I will hasten it in its time.”

The sun shall be no more thy light by day;

Neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee:

But the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light,

And thy God thy glory.

Thy sun shall no more go down;

Neither shall thy moon withdraw itself:

For the Lord shall be thine everlasting light,

And the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Thy people also shall be all righteous:

They shall inherit the land for ever,

The branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

A little one shall become a thousand,

And a small one a strong nation:

I the Lord will hasten it in his time.
