Isaiah 60
60
1Stand up and shine, for your light has come; the glory of the Lord has risen on you. 2Even though darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness covers the people, the Lord has risen to shine on you, and his glory appears over you. 3Nations will come to your light, and kings will come to the brightness of your shining dawn.
4Look all around you, and see everyone gathering and coming to you—your sons returning from far away, your young daughters being carried on the hip. 5Then you will see and shine brilliantly, your heart will beat wildly for joy, for the riches that cross the sea, the wealth of the nations, will be brought to you. 6Long caravans of camels will cover the land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. All the people of Sheba will come to you carrying gold and frankincense, shouting praises to the Lord. 7All the flocks of Kedar will be brought to you, the rams of Nebaioth will be placed at your disposal. I will accept them as they are sacrificed on my altar, and I will glorify the Temple where I'm honored.
8What are these flying like a cloud, flying like pigeons returning to their roost? 9These are ships led by those of Tarshish, coming from the islands that trust in me, bringing your children home from far away, and carrying with them silver and gold. They come to honor the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has made you glorious.
10Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will work for you. Even though I did hit you when I was angry with you, now I will be kind and merciful to you. 11Your gates will always be kept open. They won't ever be shut, day or night, so the wealth of the nations can be brought to you, with their kings being led along in a procession. 12Any nation or kingdom that does not serve you will be completely destroyed. 13The glory of Lebanon will come to you: cedars, acacias, and myrtle trees, to make my Temple beautiful and to honor the place I choose to live. 14The children of those who persecuted you will come and bow before you; everyone who looked down on you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15Once you were abandoned and despised, somewhere people didn't go, but now I will make you a place to be proud of forever, a joy to every generation. 16Nations will provide you with what you need, kings will take care of you as if you were their own children.#60:16. Literally, “You will suck the milk of nations, you will nurse at the breast of kings.” You will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 17I will bring you gold instead of bronze, silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stone. I will appoint Peace as your watchman, and Goodness as your leader. 18There won't be any more violence in your land, no more devastation and destruction within your borders. You will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19You won't need the light of the sun during the day, or the light of the moon at night, for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. 20Your sun will never set, and your moon will never wane, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your time of mourning will end. 21All your people will be good, and they will own the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted with my hands, and they will reveal my glory. 22The smallest of your families will increase to a thousand, and the most insignificant will become a great nation. I am the Lord; at the right time I will do this quickly.

Isaiah 60
60
A Glorified Zion
1“Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
2“For behold, darkness will cover the earth
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the Lord will rise upon you
And His glory will appear upon you.
3“Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
4¶“Raise your eyes all around and see;
They all gather together, they come to you.
Your sons will come from afar,
And your daughters will be #60:4 Lit cared forcarried on the hip.
5“Then you will see and be radiant,
And your heart will #60:5 Lit tremble and open widethrill and rejoice;
Because the #60:5 Lit roarabundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The wealth of the nations will come to you.
6“A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and Ephah;
All those from Sheba will come;
They will bring gold and frankincense,
And proclaim good news of the praises of the Lord.
7“All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
They will go up on My altar with acceptance,
And I will glorify My glorious house.
8“Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their windows?
9“Certainly the coastlands will wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
To bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
And 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 wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.
11“Your gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that people may bring you the wealth of the nations,
With their kings led in procession.
12“For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish,
And the nations will be utterly ruined.
13“The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
The juniper, the elm tree and the #60:13 Or cypresscedar together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make the place of My feet glorious.
14“The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you,
And all those who despised you 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 have been forsaken and hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an object of pride forever,
A joy from generation to generation.
16“You will also suck the milk of nations,
And suck the breast of kings;
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17“Instead 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 make peace your administrators,
And righteousness your overseers.
18“Violence 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.
19“No longer will you have the sun for light by day,
Nor will the moon give you light for brightness;
But you will have the Lord as an everlasting light,
And your God as your #60:19 Or beautyglory.
20“Your sun will no longer set,
Nor will your moon wane;
For you will have the Lord as an everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning will be over.
21“Then all your people will be righteous;
They will possess the land forever,
The branch of #60:21 Lit HisMy planting,
The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.
22“The smallest one will become a thousand,
And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the Lord, will bring it about quickly in its time.”
