9 The light H216 of the righteous H6662 rejoiceth: H8055 but the lamp H5216 of the wicked H7563 shall be put out. H1846
But the path H734 of the just H6662 is as the shining H5051 light, H216 that shineth H215 more H1980 and more unto the perfect H3559 day. H3117
Yea, the light H216 of the wicked H7563 shall be put out, H1846 and the spark H7632 of his fire H784 shall not shine. H5050 The light H216 shall be dark H2821 in his tabernacle, H168 and his candle H5216 shall be put out H1846 with him.
Light H216 is sown H2232 for the righteous, H6662 and gladness H8057 for the upright H3477 in heart. H3820
Who is among you that feareth H3373 the LORD, H3068 that obeyeth H8085 the voice H6963 of his servant, H5650 that walketh H1980 in darkness, H2825 and hath no light? H5051 let him trust H982 in the name H8034 of the LORD, H3068 and stay H8172 upon his God. H430 Behold, all ye that kindle H6919 a fire, H784 that compass yourselves about H247 with sparks: H2131 walk H3212 in the light H217 of your fire, H784 and in the sparks H2131 that ye have kindled. H1197 This shall ye have of mine hand; H3027 ye shall lie down H7901 in sorrow. H4620
Then G5119 said G2036 the king G935 to the servants, G1249 Bind G1210 him G846 hand G5495 and G2532 foot, G4228 and take G142 him G846 away, G142 and G2532 cast G1544 him into G1519 outer G1857 darkness; G4655 there G1563 shall be G2071 weeping G2805 and G2532 gnashing G1030 of teeth. G3599
