Context of Isaiah 60:13

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. The beautiful things of Lebanon will come to you. They will bring you its pine trees, its fir trees and its cypress trees. The wood will make my temple beautiful. I will cause my home on earth to be great! 14The descendants of your cruel enemies will come to you. They will bend down low in front of you. Everybody who insulted you before will now give you honour. They will call you, ‘The City of the Lord, Zion that is home for Israel's Holy God.’ 15At one time, people kept away from you, and they hated you. Nobody travelled through you. But now I will make you a great city, so that people will be proud of you for ever. Your people and their descendants will be very happy.
