Isaiah 60
American Standard Version
1AriseH6965, shineH215; for thy lightH216 is comeH935, and the gloryH3519 of Jehovah is risenH6965 upon thee. 2For, behold, darknessH2822 shall coverH3680 the earthH776, and gross darknessH2822 the peoplesH3816; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his gloryH3519 shall be seenH7200 upon thee. 3And nationsH1471 shall comeH1980 to thy lightH216, and kingsH4428 to the brightnessH5051 of thy rising.
4LiftH5375 up thine eyesH5869 roundH5439 about, and seeH7200: they all gatherH6908 themselves togetherH6908, they comeH935 to thee; thy sonsH1121 shall comeH935 from farH7350, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be carriedH5375 in the arms. 5ThenH227 thou shalt seeH7200 and be radiant, and thy heartH3824 shall thrill and be enlargedH7337; because the abundanceH1995 of the seaH3220 shall be turnedH2015 unto thee, the wealthH2428 of the nationsH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee. 6The multitude of camelsH1581 shall coverH3680 thee, the dromedaries of MidianH4080 and EphahH5891; all they from ShebaH7614 shall comeH935; they shall bringH935 goldH2091 and frankincenseH3828, and shall proclaim the praisesH8416 of Jehovah. 7All the flocksH6629 of KedarH6938 shall be gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 unto thee, the ramsH352 of NebaiothH5032 shall minister unto thee; they shall comeH5927 up with acceptanceH7522 on mine altarH4196; and I will glorifyH6286 the houseH1004 of my gloryH8597. 8Who are these that flyH5774 as a cloudH5645, and as the dovesH3123 to their windowsH699? 9Surely the isles shall waitH6960 for me, and the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 firstH7223, to bringH935 thy sonsH1121 from farH7350, their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 with them, for the nameH8034 of Jehovah thy GodH430, and for the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, because he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
10And foreigners shall buildH1129 up thy wallsH2346, and their kingsH4428 shall minister unto thee: for in my wrathH7110 I smote thee, but in my favorH7522 have I had mercyH7355 on thee. 11Thy gatesH8179 also shall be openH6605 continuallyH8548; they shall not be shutH5462 dayH3119 nor nightH3915; that men may bringH935 unto thee the wealthH2428 of the nationsH1471, and their kingsH4428 ledH5090 captive. 12For that nationH1471 and kingdomH4467 that will not serveH5647 thee shall perishH6; yea, those nationsH1471 shall be utterly wasted. 13The gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall comeH935 unto thee, the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree togetherH3162, to beautifyH6286 the placeH4725 of my sanctuaryH4720; and I will makeH3513 the placeH4725 of my feetH7272 gloriousH3513. 14And the sonsH1121 of them that afflicted thee shall comeH1980 bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bowH7812 themselves downH7812 at the solesH3709 of thy feetH7272; and they shall callH7121 thee The cityH5892 of Jehovah, The ZionH6726 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
15Whereas thou hast beenH1961 forsaken and hatedH8130, so that no man passedH5674 through thee, I will makeH7760 thee an eternal excellency, a joyH4885 of many generationsH1755. 16Thou shalt also suckH3243 the milkH2461 of the nationsH1471, and shalt suckH3243 the breastH7699 of kingsH4428; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy RedeemerH1350, the MightyH46 OneH46 of JacobH3290. 17For brass I will bringH935 goldH2091, and for ironH1270 I will bringH935 silverH3701, and for woodH6086 brass, and for stonesH68 ironH1270. I will also makeH7760 thy officers peaceH7965, and thine exactors righteousnessH6666. 18ViolenceH2555 shall no more be heardH8085 in thy landH776, desolation nor destructionH7667 within thy bordersH1366; but thou shalt callH7121 thy wallsH2346 SalvationH3444, and thy gatesH8179 PraiseH8416. 19The sunH8121 shall beH1961 no more thy lightH216 by dayH3119; neither for brightnessH5051 shall the moonH3394 giveH215 lightH216 unto thee: but Jehovah will beH1961 unto thee an everlasting lightH216, and thy GodH430 thy gloryH8597. 20Thy sunH8121 shall no more goH935 down, neither shall thy moon withdrawH622 itself; for Jehovah will beH1961 thine everlasting lightH216, and the daysH3117 of thy mourningH60 shall beH1961 ended. 21Thy peopleH5971 also shall be all righteousH6662; they shall inheritH3423 the landH776 for everH5769, the branchH5342 of my plantingH4302, the workH4639 of my handsH3027, that I may be glorifiedH6286. 22The little one shall becomeH1961 a thousandH505, and the smallH6996 one a strong nationH1471; I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its timeH6256.
