7 Truly the light is sweet, and it is good for the eyes to see the sun.
Wisdom together with a heritage is good, and a profit to those who see the sun.
So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.
Keeping back his soul from the underworld, so that he may see the light of life.
Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.
The light of the eyes is a joy to the heart, and good news makes the bones fat.
The poor man and his creditor come face to face: the Lord gives light to their eyes equally.
