Context of Isaiah 60:14

12For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly ruined. 13“The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the juniper, the fir and the cypress together, to adorn my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place for my feet. The children of your oppressors will come bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15“Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through, I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations. 16You will drink the milk of nations and be nursed at royal breasts. Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
