To open their eyes; that they turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.
Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying—I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Saying To them who are hound Go forth, To them who are in darkness, Shew yourselves,—By the roads, shall they graze, And on all bare places, shall be their pasture:
Neither said they, Where is Yahweh, Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt,—Who led us Through the desert, Through a land of wastes and clefts, Through a land of parched places and of death-shade, Through a land, Along which no man had passed, And in which no son of earth dwelt?
Yea he said—It is too small a thing, for being my Servant, That thou shouldest raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel, shouldst restore,—So I will give thee to become a light of nations, That, my salvation, may reach as far as the end of the earth.
Thus will I lead the blind, by a way they know not, In paths they know not, will I guide them,—I will make the place that was dark before them to be, light. And crooked ways, to be, straight, These things, have I done unto them, And have not forsaken them.
Thus saith Yahweh—Stand ye at the ways—and see, And ask for the paths of age-past times, Where is the good way? And walk therein, And ye shall find rest to your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein !
the way of well-being, have they not known, And there is no justice in their tracks,—Their paths, have they made crooked for themselves, None who treadeth therein knoweth well—being.
