Job 30:26

Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.

Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?

For you will light my lamp, Yahweh. My God will light up my darkness.

We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!

Give glory to Yahweh your God, before he causes darkness, and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you look for light, he turns it into the shadow of death, and makes it deep darkness.

He has walled me about, so that I can’t go out. He has made my chain heavy.

My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;

But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.

Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting Rock.

For Yahweh says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.

Why do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.

But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose.

The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.

Trust in Yahweh, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.

They will roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. If one looks to the land, behold, darkness and distress. The light is darkened in its clouds.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Men will call them rejected silver, because Yahweh has rejected them.”

Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!

He has walled up my ways with cut stone. He has made my paths crooked.

For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed Yahweh, their God’s voice, and the words of Haggai, the prophet, as Yahweh, their God, had sent him; and the people feared Yahweh.

Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.

You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’ ”

He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

They rose early in the morning, and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, so you will be established! Believe his prophets, so you will prosper.”

You will know that your tent is in peace. You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.

You will come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.

Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,

Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.”

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

My mouth will speak the praise of Yahweh. Let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever.

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light and be satisfied. My righteous servant will justify many by the knowledge of himself; and he will bear their iniquities.

My heritage has become to me as a lion in the forest. She has uttered her voice against me. Therefore I have hated her.

Their nobles send their little ones to the waters. They come to the cisterns, and find no water. They return with their vessels empty. They are disappointed and confounded, and cover their heads.

There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.

He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light.

He has built against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.

Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,

The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.

He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

Then I said, ‘I will die in my own house, I will count my days as the sand.

Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?

Therefore their way will be to them as slippery places in the darkness. They will be driven on, and fall therein; for I will bring evil on them, even the year of their visitation,” says Yahweh.
