Isaiah 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.”

Isaiah 60
60
Zion Glorified
1“Arise, shine! For your light has come,
and the glory of Yahweh has risen on you.
2For look! darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples,
but#Or “and” Yahweh will rise on you,
and his glory will appear over you.
3And nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the bright light of your sunrise.
4Lift up your eyes all around and see!
All of them gather; they come to you.
Your sons shall come from afar,
and your daughters shall be looked after on the hip.
5Then you shall see
and you shall be radiant;
and your heart shall tremble
and open itself wide,
because the abundance of the sea shall fall upon you;
the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6A multitude of camels shall cover you,
the young male camels of Midian and Ephah.
All those from Sheba shall come;
they shall bring gold and frankincense,
and they shall proclaim the praise of Yahweh.
7All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you;
the rams of Nebaioth shall serve you.
They shall present a sacrifice for favor on my altar,
and I will glorify my honorable house.#Literally “house of my honor”
8Who are these? They fly like a cloud,
and like doves to their coops.
9Because the coastlands wait for me,
and the ships of Tarshish are first
to bring your children from afar,
their silver and gold with them,
for the name of Yahweh your God,
and for the holy one of Israel, because he has glorified you.
10And foreigners#Literally “sons of a foreign country” shall build your walls,
and their kings shall serve you,
for in my anger I struck you,
but#Or “and” in my favor I have taken pity on you.
11And your gates shall continually be open,
day and night they shall not be shut,
to bring you the wealth of nations,
and their kings shall be led.
12For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you shall perish,
and the nations shall be utterly devastated.
13The glory of Lebanon shall come to you;
the cypress, the plane, and the pine together,
to glorify the place of my sanctuary,
and I will do honor to the place of my feet.
14And the children of those who oppressed you shall come to you bending low,
and all those who treated you disrespectfully shall bow down at the soles of your feet.
And they shall call you the city of Yahweh,
Zion of the holy one of Israel.
15Instead of you being forsaken
and hated with no one passing through,#Or “and there is not one who passes through”
I will make#Literally “place” you an everlasting object of pride,#Literally “pride”
a joy of coming generations.#Literally “generation and generation”
16And you shall suck the milk of nations,
and suck the breast of kings,
and you shall know that I am Yahweh your Savior,
and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
17Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
and instead of iron I will bring silver,
and instead of wood, bronze,
and instead of stones, iron.
And I will appoint#Literally “put” peace as your overseer,
and righteousness as your ruling body.#Literally “they who force you to work”
18Violence shall no longer be heard in your land;
devastation or#Or “and” destruction on your borders.
And you shall call your walls Salvation,
and your gates, Praise.
19The sun shall no longer be your light by day,
and for bright light the moon shall not give you light,
but#Or “and” Yahweh will be your everlasting light,
and your God your glory.
20Your sun shall no longer go down,
and your moon shall not wane,#Literally “be taken away”
for Yahweh himself will be your everlasting light,
and your days of mourning shall come to an end.
21And all your people shall be righteous;
they shall take possession of the land forever,
the shoot of his#The reading tradition (Qere) has “my” planting,
the work of my hands, to show my glory.
22The small one shall become a tribe,
and the smallest one a mighty nation.
I am Yahweh; I will hasten it in its time.”
