20 Your sun won’t[a] set,
    nor will your moon withdraw itself—
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your days of mourning will end.
21 Then your people will all be righteous;
    They’ll possess the land forever.
They are the shoot[b] that the Lord planted,[c]
    the works[d] of his hands,
        so that I might be glorified.
22 The least of them will become a thousand,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation.

“I am the Lord;
    When the time is right,[e] I will do this swiftly.”
