The peoplewho walkin darknessWill seea greatlight;Those who livein a darkland,The lightwill shineon them.

A LIGHTOF REVELATIONTO THE GENTILES,And the gloryof Your peopleIsrael."
He who madethe Pleiadesand OrionAnd changesdeepdarknessinto morning,Who also darkensday[into] night,Who callsfor the watersof the seaAnd poursthem out on the surfaceof the earth,The LORDis His name.
"Thereis nodarknessor deepshadowWherethe workersof iniquitymay hidethemselves.

The landof uttergloomas darkness[itself], Of deepshadowwithoutorder,And which shinesas the darkness."
"Let darknessand blackgloomclaimit; Let a cloudsettleon it; Let the blacknessof the dayterrifyit.
YetYou have crushedus in a placeof jackalsAnd coveredus with the shadowof death.
But there will be no[more] gloomfor her whowas in anguish;in earliertimesHe treatedthe landof Zebulunand the landof Naphtaliwith contempt,but lateron He shall make[it] glorious,by the wayof the sea,on the othersideof Jordan,Galileeof the Gentiles.
