Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Your sun will never set again, and your moon will never disappear, because the LORD will be your eternal light, and your days of sorrow will come to an end.
God is promising that He will be an eternal source of light and joy, bringing an end to all darkness and sadness.
