16  ^eAnd I will lead the blind

in a way that they do not know,

in paths that they have not known

I will guide them.

I will turn the darkness before them into light,

^fthe rough places into level ground.

These are the things I do,

and I do not forsake them.

6  he says:

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant

to raise up the tribes of Jacob

and to bring back the preserved of Israel;

^tI will make you ^uas a light for the nations,

that ^vmy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

8  ⁿThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,

^oand your healing shall spring up speedily;

^pyour righteousness shall go before you;

^qthe glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

1  ^bArise, shine, for your light has come,

and ^cthe glory of the Lord has risen upon you.

19  ^lThe sun shall be no more

your light by day,

nor for brightness shall the moon

give you light;¹

but the Lord will be your everlasting light,

and your God will be your glory.²

20  Your sun shall no more go down,

nor your moon withdraw itself;

for the Lord will be your everlasting light,

and ^myour days of mourning shall be ended.
