For You, O Lord, shall light my lamp: my God, You shall lighten my darkness.

To the upright light has sprung up in darkness; he is pitiful, and merciful, and righteous.

And the Jews had light and gladness,

And He shall establish to you again a habitation of righteousness, and there shall be light upon your paths.

But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go forth and shine, until the day has fully come.

Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!

Behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and [there shall be] deep darkness on the nations; but the Lord shall appear upon you, and His glory shall be seen upon you.

For Zion's sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as light, and My salvation burn as a torch.

I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him, until He make good my cause: He also shall maintain my right, and shall bring me out to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.

I have come as a light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me may not abide in darkness.

The city had no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.

And night shall not exist. and there [shall] not [be a] need of a lamp and of light, because the Lord God shall illuminate them. And they shall reign forever and ever.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exaltation, bringing their sheaves [with them].

For he who sows to his flesh, from his own flesh will reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap everlasting life.

Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer awaits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until it receives the early and late rain.

Do not murmur against one another, brothers, lest you be judged. Behold, the Judge stands before the doors!

Indeed we count those blessed who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you saw the end of the Lord--that He is compassionate and He is merciful.
