18 Violence shall no more be heard of in thy land, neither desolation, nor destruction within thy borders: but thou shalt [b]call salvation, thy walls, and praise, thy gates.

19 Thou shalt have no more Sun to shine by day, neither shall the brightness of the [c]Moon shine unto thee: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God, thy glory.
