Isaiah 60:1-9

1Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord shines over you.

2For look, darkness will cover the earth, and total darkness the peoples; but the Lord will shine over you, and his glory will appear over you.

3Nations will come to your light, and kings to your shining brightness.

4Raise your eyes and look around: they all gather and come to you; your sons will come from far away, and your daughters on the hips of nursing mothers.

5Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will tremble and rejoice, because the riches of the sea will become yours and the wealth of the nations will come to you.

6Caravans of camels will cover your land  — young camels of Midian and Ephah — all of them will come from Sheba. They will carry gold and frankincense and proclaim the praises of the Lord.

7All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth will serve you and go up on my altar as an acceptable sacrifice. I will glorify my beautiful house.

8Who are these who fly like a cloud, like doves to their shelters?

9Yes, the coasts and islands will wait for me with the ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your children from far away, their silver and gold with them, for the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.
