⁶ And he will make your righteousness be seen like the light, and your cause like the shining of the sun.

¹⁷ And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.

¹⁷ No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.

⁸ Then will light be shining on you like the morning, and your wounds will quickly be well: and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will come after you.

¹⁰ And if you give your bread to those in need of it, so that the troubled one may have his desire; then you will have light in the dark, and your night will be as the full light of the sun:

⁸ Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.

⁹ I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;

²⁰ You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.

¹⁸ Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.

⁴³ Then will the upright be shining as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him give ear.

⁵ For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.
