God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them.

“They make night into day, saying,
‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness.

“From the wicked their light is withheld,
And the uplifted arm is broken.

“Where is the way that the light is divided,
Or the east wind scattered on the earth?

Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And gladness for the upright in heart.

The light is pleasant, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.

And if you give yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
Then your light will rise in darkness
And your gloom will become like midday.

“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you;
And light will shine on your ways.

Even the darkness is not dark to You,
And the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to You.

And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.

“Then your light will break out like the dawn,
And your recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your righteousness will go before you;
The glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.

The One forming light and creating darkness,
Causing well-being and creating calamity;
I am the Lord who does all these.

Let it be known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is being built with huge stones, and beams are being laid in the walls; and this work is going on with great care and is succeeding in their hands.

The house, while it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.

The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day the Lord binds up the fracture of His people and heals the bruise He has inflicted.

“No longer will you have the sun for light by day,
Nor for brightness will the moon give you light;
But you will have the Lord for an everlasting light,
And your God for your glory.
