to shine on those who live in darkness
and the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace.

for what makes everything clear is light. Therefore it is said:

Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead,

so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world.

the light of a lamp
will never shine in you again;
and the voice of a groom and bride
will never be heard in you again.
All this will happen
because your merchants
were the nobility of the earth,
because all the nations were deceived
by your sorcery,

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God’s glory illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
