Isaiah 60
60
A Glorified Zion
1“Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come,
And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you.
2For in fact, darkness will cover the earth
And deep darkness will cover the peoples;
But the Lord will rise upon you [Jerusalem]
And His glory and brilliance will be seen on you.
3Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
4“Lift up your eyes around you and see;
They all gather together, they come to you.
Your sons will come from far away,
And your daughters will be looked after at their side.
5Then you will see and be radiant,
And your heart will tremble [with joy] and rejoice
Because the abundant wealth of the seas will #Lit fall upon.be brought to you,
The wealth of the nations will come to you.
6A multitude of camels [from the eastern trading tribes] will cover you [Jerusalem],
The young camels of Midian and Ephah;
All those from Sheba [who once came to trade] will come
Bringing gold and frankincense
And proclaiming the praises of the Lord.
7All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you [as the eastern pastoral tribes join the trading tribes],
The rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
They will go up with acceptance [as sacrifices] on My altar,
And I will glorify the house of My honor and splendor.
8Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like doves to their windows?
9The islands and coastlands will confidently wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
To bring your sons from far away,
Their silver and gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
For the Holy One of Israel because He has glorified you.
10“Foreigners will build up your walls,
And their kings will serve you;
For in My [righteous] wrath I struck you,
But in My favor and grace I have had compassion on you.
11Your gates will be open continually;
They shall not be shut day or night,
So that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations—
With their kings led in procession.
12For the nation or the kingdom which will not serve you [Jerusalem] shall perish,
And the nations [that refuse to serve] shall be utterly ruined.
13The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
The #The specific kinds of trees are uncertain.cypress, the juniper, and the cedar together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will honor and make the place of My feet glorious.
14The sons of those who oppressed you will come bowing down to you [in submission],
And all those who despised you and treated you disrespectfully will bow down at the soles of your feet,
And they will call you the City of the Lord,
The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15“Whereas you [Jerusalem] have been abandoned and hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an object of pride forever,
A joy from generation to generation.
16You will suck the milk of the [Gentile] nations
And suck the breast (abundance) of kings;
Then you will recognize and know that I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty 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 [instead of the tyranny of the present] I will appoint peace as your officers,
And righteousness your rulers.
18Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise [to God].
19The sun will no longer be your light by day,
Nor shall the bright glow of the moon give light to you,
But the Lord will be an everlasting light for you;
And your God will be your glory and splendor.
20Your sun will no longer set,
Nor will your moon wane;
For the Lord will be your everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning will be over.
21Then all your people will be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous;
They will possess the land forever,
The branch of My planting,
The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.
22The smallest one will become a thousand (a clan),
And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the Lord, will quicken it in its [appointed] time.”

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,

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,

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,

11And your gates shall continually be open,

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.”
