16  And 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,

^tthe 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;

ⁿI will make you as a ^olight for the nations,

that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

8  ^rThen shall your light break forth like the dawn,

and your healing shall spring up speedily;

your righteousness shall go before you;

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

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

and the glory of the Lord has ^xrisen upon you.

19  The sun shall be no more

your light by day,

nor for brightness shall the moon

give you light;¹

but ^rthe 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 ^syour days of mourning shall be ended.
