20 No longer will your sun go down; your moon will no longer wane; for ADONAI will be your light forever; your days of mourning will end.

21 All your people will be tzaddikim; they will inherit the land forever; they will be the branch I planted, my handiwork, in which I take pride.

22 The smallest will grow to a thousand, the weakest will become a mighty nation. I, ADONAI, when the right time comes, will quickly bring it about."
