Lexicon :: Strong's H216 - 'ôr

Come ^H1980, house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290, and let us walk ^H1980 in the light ^H216 of Yahweh ^H3068.

Woe ^H1945 to those who call ^H559 evil ^H7451 good ^H2896 and good ^H2896 evil ^H7451,

Who [fn]substitute ^H7760 darkness ^H2822 for light ^H216 and light ^H216 for darkness ^H2822,

Who [fn]substitute ^H7760 bitter ^H4751 for sweet ^H4966 and sweet ^H4966 for bitter ^H4751!

And it will growl ^H5098 over ^H5921 it in that day ^H3117 like the roaring ^H5100 of the sea ^H3220.

If one looks ^H5027 to the land ^H776, behold ^H2009, there is darkness ^H2822 and distress ^H6862;

Even the light ^H216 is darkened ^H2821 by its clouds ^H6183.

[fn]The people ^H5971 who walk ^H1980 in darkness ^H2822

Will see ^H7200 a great ^H1419 light ^H216;

Those who live ^H3427 in the land ^H776 of the shadow ^H6757 of death ^H6757,

The light ^H216 will shine ^H5050 on them.

And the light ^H216 of Israel ^H3478 will become ^H1961 a fire ^H784 and his Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 a flame ^H3852,

And it will burn ^H1197 and devour ^H398 his thorns ^H7898 and his briars ^H8068 in a single ^H259 day ^H3117.

For the stars ^H3556 of heaven ^H4605 and their constellations ^H3685

Will not flash ^H1984 forth ^H1984 their light ^H216;

The sun ^H8121 will be ^H2821 dark ^H2821 when it rises ^H3318

And the moon ^H3394 will not shed ^H5050 its light ^H216.

For thus ^H3541 Yahweh ^H3068 has told ^H559 me,

“I will look ^H5027 [fn]from My dwelling ^H4349 place ^H4349 quietly ^H8252

Like dazzling ^H6703 heat ^H2527 in the [fn]sunshine ^H216,

Like a cloud ^H5645 of dew ^H2919 in the heat ^H2527 of harvest ^H7105.”

“I am Yahweh ^H3068, I have called ^H7121 You in ^H7121 righteousness ^H6664;

I will also take ^H2388 hold ^H2388 of You by the hand ^H3027 and guard ^H5341 You,

And I will give ^H5414 You as a covenant ^H1285 to the people ^H5971,

As a light ^H216 to the nations ^H1471,

“I will lead ^H1980 the blind ^H5787 by a way ^H1870 they do not know ^H3045,

In paths ^H5410 they do not know ^H3045 I will guide ^H1869 them.

I will make ^H7760 darkness ^H4285 into light ^H216 before ^H6440 them

And rugged ^H4625 places ^H4625 into plains ^H4334.

These ^H428 are the things ^H1697 I will do ^H6213,

And I will not forsake ^H5800 them.”

The One forming ^H3335 light ^H216 and creating ^H1254 darkness ^H2822,

Producing ^H6213 peace ^H7965 and creating ^H1254 calamity ^H7451;

I am Yahweh ^H3068 who does ^H6213 all ^H3605 these ^H428.

He says ^H559, “It is too ^H4480 [fn]small ^H7043 a ^H7043 thing ^H7043 that You should be My Servant ^H5650

To raise ^H6965 up ^H6965 the tribes ^H7626 of Jacob ^H3290 and to cause ^H7725 the preserved ^H5336 ones of Israel ^H3478 to return ^H7725;

I will also give ^H5414 You as a light ^H216 [fn]of the nations ^H1471

So that My salvation ^H3444 may [fn]reach ^H1961 to the end ^H7097 of the earth ^H776.”

“Pay ^H7181 attention ^H7181 to Me, O My people ^H5971,

And give ^H238 ear ^H238 to Me, O My [fn]nation ^H3816;

For a law ^H8451 will go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 from Me,

And I will [fn]set ^H7280 My justice ^H4941 for a light ^H216 of the peoples ^H5971.

“Then ^H227 your light ^H216 will break ^H1234 out ^H1234 like the dawn ^H7837,

And your recovery ^H724 will speedily ^H4120 spring ^H6779 forth ^H6779;

And your righteousness ^H6664 will go ^H1980 before ^H6440 you;

The glory ^H3519 of Yahweh ^H3068 will be your rear ^H622 guard ^H622.

And if you [fn]offer ^H6329 your soul ^H5315 to the hungry ^H7457

And satisfy ^H7646 the soul ^H5315 of the afflicted ^H6031,

Then your light ^H216 will rise ^H2224 in darkness ^H2822

And your thick ^H653 darkness ^H653 will become like midday ^H6672.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 justice ^H4941 is ^H7368 far ^H7368 from us,

And righteousness ^H6666 does not overtake ^H5381 us;

We hope ^H6960 for light ^H216, but behold ^H2009, darkness ^H2822,

For brightness ^H5054, but we walk ^H1980 in thick ^H653 darkness ^H653.

“Arise ^H6965, shine ^H215, for your light ^H216 has come ^H935,

And the glory ^H3519 of Yahweh ^H3068 has risen ^H2224 upon you.

“Nations ^H1471 will come ^H1980 to your light ^H216,

And kings ^H4428 to the brightness ^H5051 of your rising ^H2225.

“No ^H3808 longer ^H5750 will you have ^H1961 the sun ^H8121 for light ^H216 by day ^H3119,

Nor ^H3808 for brightness ^H5051 will the moon ^H3394 give ^H215 you light ^H215;

But you will have ^H1961 Yahweh ^H3068 for an everlasting ^H5769 light ^H216,

And your God ^H430 for your [fn]glory ^H8597.
