7 Sweet also `is' the light, And good for the eyes to see the sun.
Wisdom `is' good with an inheritance, And an advantage `it is' to those beholding the sun.
that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous.
To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.
For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!
The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.
The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah is enlightening the eyes of them both.
