Yeshayah 60
60
1Arise, shine; for thy#60:1 Tziyonʼs ohr is come, and the kavod Hashem is risen upon thee.
2For, hinei, the choshech shall cover Eretz, and gross darkness the nations; but Hashem shall arise upon thee, and His kavod shall be seen upon thee.
3And the Goyim shall walk by thy ohr, and melachim by the brightness of thy shining.
4Lift up thine eyes round about, and see; they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy banim shall come from afar, and thy banot shall be carried at thy side.
5Then thou shalt see, and be radiant, and thine lev shall fear, and swell; because the hamon yam shall be converted unto thee, the chayil Goyim (wealth of the Nations) shall come unto thee.
6A swarm of gemalim (camels) shall cover thee, foals of Midyan and Ephah; all they from Sheva shall come; they shall bring zahav and levonah (frankincense); and they shall bear glad tidings of tehillot (the praises of) Hashem.
7Kol tzon Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nevayot shall minister unto thee; they shall come up al ratzon (with acceptance) upon Mine Mizbe'ach, and I will glorify the Beis of My Tiferet (The Beis [HaMikdash] of My Glory).
8Who are these that fly like a cloud, and like the yonim to their roosts?
9Surely the iyim shall wait for Me, and the oniyot (ships) of Tarshish will come first, to bring thy banim from afar, their kesef and their zahav with them, unto the Shem of Hashem thy G-d, and to the Kadosh Yisroel, because He hath glorified thee.
10And the Bnei Nekhar shall build up thy chomot, and their melachim shall minister unto thee; for in My ketzef I struck thee, but in My ratzon have I had rachamim on thee.
11Therefore thy She'arim shall be open continually; they shall not be shut yomam valailah; that men may bring unto thee the chayil Goyim (wealth of the Nations), and that their melachim may be led in procession.
12For the Goy and Mamlachah that will not serve thee shall perish; yes, those Goyim shall be utterly ruined.#60:12 T.N. Notice that an anti-Jerusalem, anti-Jewish sentiment among believers is a contradiction in terms here in this verse
13The kavod HaLevanon shall come unto thee, the juniper tree, the box tree, and the cypress together, to beautify the makom (place) of My Mikdash; and I will make the makom of My raglayim glorious.
14The banim also of them that oppress thee shall come unto thee in submission; and all they that despised thee shall prostrate themselves down at the soles of thy raglayim; and they shall call thee, The Ir of Hashem, Tziyon of Kadosh Yisroel.
15Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that none passed through thee, I will make thee a Ga'on Olam (Everlasting Pride), a joy dor vador.
16Thou shalt also drink the cholov Goyim, and shalt nurse at the breast of melachim; and thou shalt know that I Hashem am thy Moshia and thy Go'el, the Avir Ya'akov (Mighty One of Jacob).
17Instead of nechoshet I will bring zahav, and for barzel (iron) I will bring kesef, and for etzim (wood) nechoshet, and for avanim (stones) barzel (iron); I will also make thy pekudim shalom, and thine nogesim tzedakah.
18Chamas shall no more be heard in thy land, shod nor shever within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy chomot Yeshu'ah (Salvation), and thy she'arim Tehillah (Praise).
19The shemesh shall be no more thy ohr yomam; neither for brightness shall the yarei'ach give light unto thee; but Hashem shall be unto thee an Ohr Olam, and thy G-d thy tiferet.
20Thy shemesh shall no more go down; neither shall thy yarei'ach wane; for Hashem shall be for thee an Ohr Olam, and the yamim of thy avelut shall be ended.
21Thy people also shall be all of them tzaddikim; they shall inherit the Eretz l'olam, the Netzer#60:21 See Mt 2:23 of My planting, the ma'aseh of My hands, that I may be glorified.
22The katon shall become an elef, and the smallest a mighty nation; I Hashem will hasten it in its time.

The Lord’s Glory in Zion
1Arise, shine, for your light has come,#Is 9:2; 26:19; 30:26; 51:17; 52:2; Eph 5:14
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

and your daughters on the hips of nursing mothers.#Is 49:18–22
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.
7All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you;
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
who has glorified you.#Is 55:5
10Foreigners will rebuild your walls,#Is 14:1–2; 61:5; Zch 6:15

Although I struck you in my wrath,
yet I will show mercy to you with my favor.#Hab 3:2
11Your city gates will always be open;
they will never be shut day or night
so that the wealth of the nations
may be brought into you,#Rv 21:25–26
with their kings being led in procession.
12For the nation and the kingdom
that will not serve you will perish;
those nations will be annihilated.#Zch 14:17–19
13The glory of Lebanon will come to you#Is 35:2 —
its pine, elm, and cypress together#Is 41:19 —
to beautify the place of my sanctuary,
and I will glorify my dwelling place.#60:13 Lit glorify the place of my feet
14The sons of your oppressors
will come and bow down to you;#Is 14:1–2; Zch 8:23
all who reviled you
will fall facedown at your feet.#Is 49:23; Rv 3:9
They will call you the City of the Lord,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.#Is 1:26
15Instead of your being deserted and hated,
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 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.
