Context of Isaiah 60:10

8See those ships that sail along like clouds! They come like doves that are flying to their homes. 9People from lands across the seas are coming to find me. Their big ships are leading them. They are bringing your children from far away, as well as silver and gold. They come to give honour to the name of the Lord your God. He is Israel's Holy God. They come here because he has shown that you are great. Foreign people will build your walls again. Their kings will be your servants. I punished you when I was angry with you. But now I will show my grace and I will be kind to you. 11The gates of your city will always be open. People will never close them, during the day or during the night. Then other nations will bring their riches to you, and their kings will lead them. 12Any nation or kingdom that refuses to serve you will come to an end. Enemies will completely destroy those nations.
