Isaiah 60
60
The Gentiles Bless Zion
1Arise, #Eph. 5:14shine;
For your light has come!
And #Mal. 4:2the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
3The #Is. 49:6, 23; Rev. 21:24Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
4“Lift#Is. 49:18 up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, #Is. 49:20–22they come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
5Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because #(Rom. 11:25–27)the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
6The multitude of camels shall cover your land,
The dromedaries of Midian and #Gen. 25:4Ephah;
All those from #Gen. 25:3; Ps. 72:10Sheba shall come;
They shall bring #Is. 61:6; Matt. 2:11gold and incense,
And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.
7All the flocks of #Gen. 25:13Kedar shall be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
They shall ascend with #Is. 56:7acceptance on My altar,
And #Is. 60:13; Hag. 2:7, 9I will glorify the house of My glory.
8“Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?
9#Ps. 72:10Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
#(Gal. 4:26)To bring your sons from afar,
#Jer. 3:17Their silver and their gold with them,
To the name of the Lord your God,
And to the Holy One of Israel,
#Is. 55:5Because He has glorified you.
10“The#Is. 14:1, 2; 61:5; Zech. 6:15 sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,
#Is. 49:23; Rev. 21:24And their kings shall minister to you;
For #Is. 57:17in My wrath I struck you,
#Is. 54:7, 8But in My favor I have had mercy on you.
11Therefore your gates #Is. 26:2; 60:18; 62:10; Rev. 21:25, 26shall be open continually;
They shall not be shut day or night,
That men may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,
And their kings in procession.
12#Is. 14:2; Zech. 14:17; Matt. 21:44For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.
13“The#Is. 35:2 glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make #1 Chr. 28:2; Ps. 132:7the place of My feet glorious.
14Also the sons of those who afflicted you
Shall come #Is. 45:14bowing to you,
And all those who despised you shall #Is. 49:23; Rev. 3:9fall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
#(Heb. 12:22; Rev. 14:1)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
So that no one went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellence,
A joy of many generations.
16You shall drink the milk of the Gentiles,
#Is. 49:23And milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that #Is. 43:3I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17“Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
Instead of iron I will bring silver,
Instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
I will also make your officers peace,
And your magistrates righteousness.
18Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,
Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders;
But you shall call #Is. 26:1your walls Salvation,
And your gates Praise.
God the Glory of His People
19“The #Rev. 21:23; 22:5sun shall no longer be your light by day,
Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,
And #Is. 41:16; 45:25; Zech. 2:5your God your glory.
20#Amos 8:9Your sun shall no longer go down,
Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;
For the Lord will be your everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21#Is. 52:1; Rev. 21:27Also your people shall all be righteous;
#Ps. 37:11; Matt. 5:5They shall inherit the land forever,
#Is. 61:3; (Matt. 15:13; John 15:2)The branch of My planting,
#Is. 29:23; (Eph. 2:10)The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.
22#Matt. 13:31, 32A little one shall become a thousand,
And a small one a strong nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”

and the glory of the Lord shines over you.#60:1 = Jerusalem#Is 40:5; 58:8; Mal 4:2

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.#Is 42:6; 49:6; Rv 21:24

5Then you will see and be radiant,#Ps 34:5
and your heart will tremble and rejoice,#60:5 Lit expand
because the riches of the sea will become yours
and the wealth of the nations will come to you.#Is 61:6
6Caravans of camels will cover your land#60:6 Lit cover you —
young camels of Midian and Ephah —
all of them will come from Sheba.#Gn 25:3; Ps 72:10
They will carry gold and frankincense#Mt 2:11
and proclaim the praises of the Lord.

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you#Gn 25:13
and go up on my altar as an acceptable sacrifice.#Is 19:19; 56:7
I will glorify my beautiful house.#Is 60:13; Hg 2:7,9
8Who are these who fly like a cloud,
like doves to their shelters?#Hs 11:11
9Yes, the coasts and islands will wait for me#Is 51:5
with the ships of Tarshish in the lead,#Ps 48:7; Is 2:16
to bring your children from far away,#Is 14:2; 43:6; 49:22
their silver and gold with them,
for the honor of the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,#Is 1:4; 60:14

yet I will show mercy to you with my favor.#Hab 3:2

they will never be shut day or night
so that the wealth of the nations
may be brought into you,#Rv 21:25–26

that will not serve you will perish;
those nations will be annihilated.#Zch 14:17–19

with no one passing through,#Is 34:10
I will make you an object of eternal pride,#Is 65:18
a joy from age to age.
16You will nurse on the milk of nations,
and nurse at the breast of kings;#Is 49:23; 66:11–12
you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior#Is 43:3; 49:26
and Redeemer,#Is 41:14; 43:14 the Mighty One of Jacob.#Gn 49:24; Ps 132:2,5; Is 49:26
17I will bring gold instead of bronze;
I will bring silver instead of iron,
bronze instead of wood,
and iron instead of stones.
I will appoint peace as your government
and righteousness as your overseers.
18Violence will never again be heard of in your land;#Is 11:9
devastation and destruction
will be gone from your borders.
You will call your walls Salvation#Is 26:1
and your city gates Praise.
19The sun will no longer be your light by day,
and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you.
The Lord will be your everlasting light,#Zch 14:6–7; Rv 21:23; 22:5
and your God will be your splendor.
20Your sun will no longer set,
and your moon will not fade;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and the days of your sorrow will be over.#Is 35:10; 65:19; Rv 21:4
21All your people will be righteous;#Is 52:1
they will possess the land forever;#Ps 37:9; Ezk 37:25
they are the branch I planted,
the work of my#60:21 LXX, DSS read his hands,
so that I may be glorified.#Is 61:3
22The least will become a thousand,
the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the Lord;
I will accomplish it quickly in its time.
