Who is this that appears like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, majestic as the stars in procession?

The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.

You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.

All the stars in the sky will be dissolved and the heavens rolled up like a scroll; all the starry host will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

They will be exposed to the sun and the moon and all the stars of the heavens, which they have loved and served and which they have followed and consulted and worshiped. They will not be gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.

This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord Almighty is his name:

I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars in the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’”

When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

Before them the earth shakes, the heavens tremble, the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars no longer shine.

The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine.

Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.

You have increased the number of your merchants till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky, but like locusts they strip the land and then fly away.
