Ayub 24:13

24:13 There are those ¹  who rebel against the light;

they do not know its ways

and they do not stay on its paths.

Matius 6:22-23

6:22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If then your eye is healthy, ²  your whole body will be full of light. 6:23 But if your eye is diseased, ³  your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Lukas 11:34-35

11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, ⁴  your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, ⁵  your body is full of darkness. 11:35 Therefore see to it ⁶  that the light in you ⁷  is not darkness.

[11:34]  ⁵ tn Or “when it is sick” (L&N 23.149).

[11:34]  sn There may be a slight wordplay here, as this term can also mean “evil,” so the figure uses a term that points to the real meaning of being careful as to what one pays attention to or looks at.
