Isaiah 60:1-14

1Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.2For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.3Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

4Lift up your eyes and look around:They all gather and come to you;your sons will come from afar,and your daughters will be carried on the arm.5Then you will look and be radiant,and your heart will tremble and swell with joy,because the riches of the sea will be brought to you,and the wealth of the nations will come to you.6Caravans of camels will cover your land,young camels of Midian and Ephah,and all from Sheba will come,bearing gold and frankincenseand proclaiming the praises of the LORD.7All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you;the rams of Nebaioth will serve youand go up on My altar with acceptance;I will adorn My glorious house.
8Who are these who fly like clouds,like doves to their shelters?9Surely the islands1 will wait for Me,with the ships of Tarshish2 in the lead,to bring your children from afar,with their silver and gold,to the honor of the LORD your God,the Holy One of Israel,for He has glorified you.
10Foreigners will rebuild your walls,and their kings will serve you.Although I struck you in anger,yet in favor I will show you mercy.11Your gates will always stand open;they will never be shut, day or night,so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you,with their kings being led in procession.12For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish;it will be utterly destroyed.
13The glory of Lebanon will come to you—its cypress,3 elm, and boxwood together—to adorn the place of My sanctuary,and I will glorify the place of My feet.14The sons of your oppressorswill come and bow down to you;all who reviled youwill fall facedown at your feetand call you the City of the LORD,Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
