Yesaya 60:20

60:20 Your sun will no longer set;

your moon will not disappear; ¹ 

the Lord will be your permanent source of light;

your time ²  of sorrow will be over.

Yesaya 60:2

60:2 For, look, darkness covers the earth

and deep darkness covers ³  the nations,

but the Lord shines on you;

his splendor ⁴  appears over you.

[60:20]  ¹ sn In this verse “sun” and “moon” refer to the Lord’s light, which will replace the sun and moon (see v. 19). Light here symbolizes the restoration of divine blessing and prosperity in conjunction with the Lord’s presence. See 30:26.

[60:20]  ² tn Heb “days” (so KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[60:2]  ³ tn The verb “covers” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[60:2]  ⁴ tn Or “glory” (so most English versions); TEV “the brightness of his presence.”
