Isaiah

Isaiah 60:19–21

¹⁹No longer will the sun be your light by day,

nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night;^d

for the LORD will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your splendor.^e

²⁰Your sun will no longer set,

and your moon will not wane;

for the LORD will be your everlasting light,

and the days of your sorrow will cease.

²¹Then all your people will be righteous;

they will possess the land forever;

they are the branch of My planting,

the work of My hands,

so that I may be glorified.
