20 Your sun will never go down again.
    Your moon will never again be dark.
That’s because the Lord will be your light forever,

    They will get the land forever.
They are the young plant in my garden[a]
    that will grow to be a wonderful tree.

When the time is right,
    I, the Lord, will come quickly.
    I will make these things happen.”
