(Isa. xlii. 13, 14.)

Then it will be said to His people (and the setting of the prophecy in its beautiful introverted structure shows us the beauty and glory of the truth it reveals):[63]

a | Arise,

b | Shine; for thy light is come,

c | And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

d | For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,

d | And gross darkness the people;

c | But the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His gloryshall be seen upon thee.

b | And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,

a | And kings to the brightness of thy rising.
