ISA-60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of

the LORD is risen upon thee.

ISA-60:2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and

gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee,

and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

ISA-60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to

the brightness of thy rising.

ISA-60:4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they

gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall

come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side.

ISA-60:5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart

shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea

shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall

come unto thee.

ISA-60:6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the

dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come:

they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall show forth the

praises of the LORD.

ISA-60:7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto

thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall

come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the

house of my glory.

ISA-60:8 Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves

to their windows?

ISA-60:9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of

Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and

their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to

the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

ISA-60:10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls,

and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I

smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

ISA-60:11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they

shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee

the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be]

brought.

ISA-60:12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee

shall perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.

ISA-60:13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir

tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place

of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

ISA-60:14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come

bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow

themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call

thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

ISA-60:15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no

man went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency,

a joy of many generations.

ISA-60:16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and

shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the

LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

ISA-60:17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring

silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also

make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

ISA-60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting

nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy

walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

ISA-60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for

brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD

shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

ISA-60:20 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.

ISA-60:21 Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall

inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work

of my hands, that I may be glorified.

ISA-60:22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one

a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
