And God said, Let there be light, and there was light.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night, and there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

For I will regard the heavens, the work of Your fingers; the moon and stars, which You have established.

You made the darkness, and it was night; in it all the wild beasts of the forest will be abroad;

The sun arises, and they shall be gathered together, and shall lie down in their dens.

Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the moon and the stars for a light by night, and [makes] a roaring in the sea, so that its waves roar: the Lord Almighty is His name:

Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, and let there be darkness over the land of Egypt- darkness that may be felt.

And for three days no man saw his brother, and no man rose up from his bed for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in all the places where they were.

And it went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole night.

Give glory to the Lord your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and you shall wait for light, and behold the shadow of death, and they shall be brought into darkness.

All the [bodies] that give light in the sky shall be darkened over you, and I will bring darkness upon the earth, says the Lord God.

for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist; a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been one like it from the beginning, and after it there shall not be again, even to the years of many generations.

For behold, I am He that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims His Messiah unto men, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth; The Lord God Almighty is His name.

But with an overrunning flood He will make an utter end: darkness shall pursue those that rise up against [Him] and His enemies.

And the angels who did not keep their own domain, but rather having left their own habitation, He has kept with everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

raging waves on the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars for whom the darkness of the netherworld has been reserved forever.

Woe to the Assyrians; the rod of My wrath and anger are in their hands.

I will send My wrath against a sinful nation, and I will command My people to take plunder and spoil, and to trample the cities, and to make dust out of them.

But he looked at her, and said to her, You have spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not with his lips before God.

And He will give quiet, and who will condemn? And He will hide His face, and who shall see Him? Whether it be done against a nation, or against a man, also:

The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

For God is the judge; He puts one down, and raises up another.

Behold the works of God; for who shall be able to straighten him whom God has made crooked?

In the day of prosperity live joyfully, and consider in the day of adversity. Consider, [I say], God also has caused the one to agree with the other for [this] reason, that man should find nothing after him.

[If] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation, or upon a kingdom, to cut them off, and to destroy [them];

And [if] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation and kingdom, to rebuild and to plant [it];

You scatter for Me the weapons of war, and I will scatter nations by you, and will destroy kings by means of you.

If again I bring evil beasts upon the land, and take vengeance upon it, and it is ruined, and there be no one to pass through for fear of the wild beasts;

Or again if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Let the sword go through the land; and I cut off from them man and beast;

Or [if] again I send pestilence upon that land, and pour out My wrath upon it in blood, to destroy from off it man and beast;

Thus says the Lord: And if I even send upon Jerusalem My four severe judgments- the sword, famine, evil beasts, and pestilence, to destroy from out of it [both] man and beast;

Shall the trumpet sound in the city, and the people not be alarmed? Shall there be evil in a city which the Lord has not wrought?

But seek the Lord, and you shall live; lest the house of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there shall be none to quench it for the house of Israel.

to do all that Your hand and Your counsel foreordained to come to pass.
