Isaias (Isaiah) 60
60
1ARISE, be enlightened, O Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth and a mist the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3And the Gentiles shall walk in thy light, and kings in the brightness of thy rising.
4Lift up thy eyes round about and see: all these are gathered together, they are come to thee. Thy sons shall come from afar and thy daughters shall rise up at thy side.
5Then shalt thou see and abound, and thy heart shall wonder and be enlarged: when the multitude of the sea shall be converted to thee, the strength of the Gentiles shall come to thee.
6The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Madian and Epha. All they from Saba shall come, bringing gold and frankincense and shewing forth praise to the Lord.
7All the flocks of Cedar shall be gathered together unto thee: the rams of Nabaioth shall minister to thee. They shall be offered upon my acceptable altar: and I will glorify the house of my majesty.
8Who are these, that fly as clouds, and as doves to their windows?
9For, the islands wait for me, and the ships of the sea in the beginning: that I may bring thy sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10And the children of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister to thee: for in my wrath have I struck thee and in my reconciliation have I had mercy upon thee.
11And thy gates shall be open continually: they shall not be shut day nor night, that the strength of the Gentiles may be brought to thee, and their kings may be brought.
12For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish: and the Gentiles shall be wasted with desolation.
13The glory of Libanus shall come to thee, the fir-tree, and the box-tree, and the pine-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary: and I will glorify the place of my feet.
14And the children of them that afflict thee shall come bowing down to thee: and all that slandered thee shall worship the steps of thy feet and shall call thee the city of the Lord, the Sion of the Holy One of Israel.
15Because thou wast forsaken and hated, and there was none that passed through thee, I will make thee to be an everlasting glory, a joy unto generation and generation.
16And thou shalt suck the milk of the Gentiles: and thou shalt be nursed with the breasts of kings. And thou shalt know that I am the Lord thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: and I will make thy visitation peace, and thy overseers justice.
18Iniquity shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction in thy borders: and salvation shall possess thy walls, and praise thy gates.
19Thou shalt no more have the sun for thy light by day, neither shall the brightness of the moon enlighten thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee for an everlasting light, and thy God for thy glory.
20Thy sun shall go down no more and thy moon shall not decrease. For the Lord shall be unto thee for an everlasting light: and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
21And thy people shall be all just, they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hand, to glorify me.
22The least shall become a thousand, and a little one a most strong nation: I, the Lord, will suddenly do this thing in its time.

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 appoint peace as your government
and righteousness as your overseers.

devastation and destruction
will be gone from your borders.

I am the Lord;
I will accomplish it quickly in its time.
