Context of Isaiah 60:14

12Nations and kingdoms that do not serve you will be destroyed. The nations will certainly be ruined. 13“Lebanon’s glory will come to you: Cedar, fir, and cypress trees will come to beautify my holy place, and I will honor the place where my feet rest. The descendants of those who oppress you will bow in front of you. All who despise you will bow at your feet. They will call you the city of the Lord, Zion, the city of the Holy One of Israel. 15“You have been abandoned and hated; no one has passed through you. But now I will make you a source of everlasting pride, a joy for all generations. 16You will drink milk from other nations and nurse at royal breasts. Then you will know that I am the Lord, your Savior, the Mighty One of Jacob, your Defender.
