Yesaya 24:23

24:23 The full moon will be covered up, ¹ 

the bright sun ²  will be darkened; ³ 

for the Lord who commands armies will rule ⁴ 

on Mount Zion in Jerusalem ⁵ 

in the presence of his assembly, in majestic splendor. ⁶ 

Yesaya 60:19-20

nor will the moon’s brightness shine on you;

the Lord will be your permanent source of light –

the splendor of your God will shine upon you. ⁷ 

60:20 Your sun will no longer set;

your moon will not disappear; ⁸ 

the Lord will be your permanent source of light;

your time ⁹  of sorrow will be over.
