Then God said, Let there be light! And there was light.

God called the light, Day; and the darkness He called, Night. Thus, the evening and the morning: Day One.

When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have established;

You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the beasts of the forest creep about.

When the sun rises, they gather together and lie down in their dens.

Thus says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea when its waves roar (Jehovah of Hosts is His name);

For it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone 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 change or shadow of turning.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt.

They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

Give glory to Jehovah your God, before He causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and, while you are looking for light, He turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it gross darkness.

All the bright lights of the heavens I will make dark over you, and bring darkness upon your land, declares the Lord Jehovah.

a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spread out on the mountains, a great and a strong people. There has never been the like, nor shall there ever be again to the years of many generations;

For, behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what his thought is, He who makes the dawn darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth; Jehovah the God of Hosts, is His name.

But with an overrunning flood He will make a complete end of its place, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.

And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting bonds under darkness for the judgment of the Great Day;

raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.

Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger! And the staff in their hand is My indignation.

I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of My wrath. I will command him to draw out the plunder, and to seize the spoils, and to trample them like the mud of the streets.

But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. Shall we indeed receive good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

When He gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him? It might be against a nation or mankind altogether,

Jehovah will give strength to His people; Jehovah will bless His people with peace.

But God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts another.

Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what He has made crooked?

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity take note that God also has ordained the one next to the other, in order that man should not find anything after him.

The instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck it up; or to pull it down, and to destroy it;

And the instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and plant it;

You are My battle-ax and weapons of war; for with you I will shatter nations; and with you I will destroy kingdoms.

If I cause wild beasts to pass through the land, and they bereave it, and make it so desolate that no man may pass through because of the beasts,

Or if I bring a sword on that land, and say, Sword, go through the land, and I cut off man and beast from it,

Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out My fury on it in blood, and cut off from it man and beast,

For thus says the Lord Jehovah: How much more shall it be when I send My four severe judgments on Jerusalem; the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence; to cut off man and beast from it!

If a shofar is blown in a city, will the people not also tremble? If there is calamity in a city, will not even Jehovah have done it?

Seek Jehovah, and live, that He not break out like a fire on the house of Joseph, and consume it, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel;

to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
