The people of Jerusalem say,“ Don’t laugh when we suffer, you enemies of ours! We have fallen. But we’ll get up. Even though we sit in the dark, the Lord will give us light.

我的仇敌啊，不要向我夸耀。我虽跌倒，却要起来；我虽坐在黑暗里，耶和华却作我的光。

我敵歟、勿因我而欣喜、我雖傾覆、必復興起、我坐於幽暗、耶和華為我之光、

我雖隕越、必復振興、我雖居暗域、耶和華必賜光明、故予寇仇、毋庸欣喜、

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.

Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will stand up; though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

Do not rejoice over me, enemy of mine. Though I fall I will rise; Though I live in darkness, the Lord is a light for me.

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The Lord will be a light to me.

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, Jehovah will be a light unto me.

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will stand up; though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD[ shall be] a light unto me.

My enemies, do not gloat over me! Though I have fallen, I will get up. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light.

Don’t rejoice against me, my enemy. When I fall, I will arise. When I sit in darkness, Yahweh will be a light to me.

Jesus spoke to the people again. He said,“ I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in darkness. They will have that light. They will have life.”

The people who are now living in darkness will see a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light will shine on them.

Even in the darkness light shines on honest people. It shines on those who are kind and tender and godly.

The Lord is my light, and he saves me. Why should I fear anyone? The Lord is my place of safety. Why should I be afraid?

God said,“ Let light shine out of darkness.”( Genesis 1:3) He made his light shine in our hearts. His light gives us the light to know God’s glory. His glory is shown in the face of Christ.

The Lord God is like the sun that gives us light. He is like a shield that keeps us safe. The Lord blesses us with favor and honor. He doesn’t hold back anything good from those whose lives are without blame.

Others lived in the deepest darkness. They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God. They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.So he made them do work that was hard and bitter. They tripped and fell, and there was no one to help them.Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.He brought them out of the deepest darkness. He broke their chains off.Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.

“ The time will come when I will set up David’s fallen shelter. I will repair its broken walls. I will rebuild what was destroyed. I will make it what it used to be.

Our enemies will see it too. And they will be put to shame. After all, they said to us,‘ Where is the Lord your God?’ But we will see them destroyed. Soon they will be stomped on like mud in the streets.”

Even if godly people fall down seven times, they always get up. But those who are evil trip and fall when trouble comes.Don’t be happy when your enemy falls. When he trips, don’t let your heart be glad.The Lord will see it, but he won’t be pleased. He might turn his anger away from your enemy.

What I’m about to tell you is true. You will weep and mourn while the world is full of joy. You will be sad, but your sadness will turn into joy.

That was a time of trouble for your relatives. So you shouldn’t have been happy about what happened to them. The people of Judah were destroyed. So you should not have been happy about it. You should not have laughed at them so much when they were in trouble.

But here is what will happen for you who have respect for me. The sun that brings life will rise. Its rays will bring healing to my people. You will go out and leap for joy like calves that have just been fed.

There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun. The Lord God will give them light. They will rule for ever and ever.

“ People of Babylon, you have stolen what belongs to me. That has made you glad and full of joy. You dance around like a young cow on a threshing floor. You neigh like stallions.

Sinful people borrow and don’t pay back. But those who are godly give freely to others.

I said,“ Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall. Don’t let them brag when my feet slip.”

Good things come to those who do what is right. Joy comes to those whose hearts are honest.

But Lord, may you have mercy on me. Make me well, so I can pay them back.Then I will know that you are pleased with me, because my enemies haven’t won the battle over me.You will take good care of me because I’ve been honest. You will let me be with you forever.

“ People of Jerusalem, get up. Shine, because your light has come. The glory of the Lord will shine on you.Darkness covers the earth. Thick darkness spreads over the nations. But I will rise and shine on you. My glory will appear over you.Nations will come to your light. Kings will come to the brightness of your new day.

“ I wasn’t happy when hard times came to my enemies. I didn’t enjoy seeing the trouble they had.

You were happy when the land of Israel became empty. So I will treat you in the same way. Mount Seir, you will be empty. So will the whole land of Edom. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

The Lord and King says,“ You clapped your hands. You stamped your feet. Deep down inside, you hated the land of Israel. You were glad because of what happened to it.

Even if that person trips, he won’t fall. The Lord’ s hand takes good care of him.

Don’t let those who are my enemies without any reason laugh at me and make fun of me. Don’t let those who hate me without any reason wink at me with an evil purpose.

People of Edom, be joyful. You who live in the land of Uz, be glad. But the cup of the Lord’ s anger will also be passed to you. Then you will become drunk. Your clothes will be stripped off.People of Zion, the time for you to be punished will come to an end. The Lord won’t keep you away from your land any longer. But he will punish your sin, people of Edom. He will show everyone the evil things you have done.

to open their eyes. I want you to turn them from darkness to light. I want you to turn them from Satan’s power to God. I want their sins to be forgiven. They will be forgiven when they believe in me. They will have their place among God’s people.’

I want you to say to the prisoners,‘ Come out.’ Tell those who are in their dark cells,‘ You are free!’“ On their way home they will eat beside the roads. They will find plenty to eat on every bare hill.

You will not need the light of the sun by day anymore. The bright light of the moon will no longer have to shine on you. I will be your light forever. My glory will shine on you. I am the Lord your God.Your sun will never set again. Your moon will never lose its light. I will be your light forever. Your days of sorrow will come to an end.

Lord my God, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor. You always do what is right. Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall.Don’t let them think,“ That’s exactly what we wanted!” Don’t let them say,“ We have swallowed him up.”Let all those who laugh at me because I’m in trouble be ashamed and bewildered. Let all who think they are better than I am put on shame and dishonor as if they were clothes.

But when I tripped and fell, they were all very happy. Attackers gathered against me when I didn’t even know it. They kept on telling lies about me.Like ungodly people, they were mean and made fun of me. They ground their teeth at me in hate.

Then my enemies will say,“ We have beaten him.” They will be filled with joy when I die.But I trust in your faithful love. My heart is filled with joy because you will save me.I will sing praise to the Lord. He has been so good to me.

People of Jacob, come. Let us live the way the Lord has taught us to.

The people who are now living in darkness have seen a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light has shined on them.”( Isaiah 9:1, 2)

Those who live on the earth will be happy about this. That’s because those two prophets had made them suffer. The people will celebrate by sending one another gifts.But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the witnesses. They both stood up. Terror struck those who saw them.Then the two witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven. It said to them,“ Come up here.” They went up to heaven in a cloud. Their enemies watched it happen.

All of that will happen because our God is tender and caring. His kindness will bring the rising sun to us from heaven.It will shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death. It will guide our feet on the path of peace.”

The city does not need the sun or moon to shine on it. God’s glory is its light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

Does anyone among you have respect for the Lord? Does anyone obey the message of the Lord’ s servant? Let the person who walks in the dark trust in the Lord. Let the one who doesn’t have any light to guide them depend on their God.
