Isaiah 60
60
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. # = Jerusalem # Is 40:5; 58:8; Mal 4:2
2For look, darkness covers the earth,
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 the brightness of your radiance. # Is 42:6; 49:6; Rv 21:24
4Raise your eyes and look around:
they all gather and come to you;
your sons will come from far away,
and your daughters will be carried on the hip. # Is 49:18-22
5Then you will see and be radiant, # Ps 34:5
and your heart will tremble and rejoice, # 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 # 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 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 build up your walls, # Is 14:1-2; 61:5; Zch 6:15
and their kings will serve you. # Is 49:7,23; Rv 21:24
Although I struck you in My wrath,
yet I will show mercy to you with My favor. # Hab 3:2
11Your 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, fir, and cypress together # Is 41:19 —
to beautify the place of My sanctuary,
and I will glorify My dwelling place. # 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, Yahweh, 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 guard
and righteousness as your ruler.
18Violence will never again be heard of in your land; # Is 11:9
devastation and destruction
will be gone from your borders.
But you will name your walls salvation # Is 26:1
and your gates, praise.
19The sun will no longer be your light by day,
and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you;
but the Lord will be your everlasting light, # Zch 14:6-7; Rv 21:23; 22:5
and your God will be your splendor.
20Your sun will no longer set,
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
21Then all 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 # 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 Yahweh;
I will accomplish it quickly in its time.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 60
60
1“Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the esteem of יהוה has risen upon you.
2“For look, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples. But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen upon you.
3“And the nations shall come to your light,#See Isa. 60:19, 20; Rev. 21:23, 24 and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising.
4“Lift up your eyes all around and see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are supported on the side.
5“Then you shall see and be bright, and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to you, the riches of the nations come to you.
6“A stream of camels cover your land, the dromedaries of Miḏyan and Ěphah; all those from Sheḇa come, bearing gold and incense, and proclaiming the praises of יהוה.
7“All the flocks of Qĕḏar are gathered to you, the rams of Neḇayoth serve you; they come up for acceptance on My slaughter-place, and I embellish My esteemed House.
8“Who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their windows?
9“Because the coastlands wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the Name of יהוה your Elohim, and to the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, because He has adorned you.
10“And the sons of foreigners shall build your walls, and their sovereigns serve you. For in My wrath I have stricken you, but in My delight I shall have compassion on you.
11“And your gates shall be open continually, they are not shut day or night, to bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their sovereigns in procession.
12“For the nation and the reign that do not serve you shall perish, and those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
13“The esteem of Leḇanon shall come to you, cypress, pine, and the box tree together, to embellish the place of My set-apart place. And I shall make the place of My feet esteemed.
14“And the sons of those who afflicted you come bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall bow themselves at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you: City of יהוה, Tsiyon of the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl.
15“Instead of you being forsaken and hated, so that no one passes through you, I shall make you an everlasting excellence, a joy of many generations.
16“And you shall suck the milk of the nations, and shall suckle the breast of sovereigns. And you shall know that I, יהוה, your Saviour and your Redeemer, am the Mighty One of Ya‛aqoḇ.
17“Instead of bronze I bring gold, and instead of iron I bring silver, and bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. And I shall make your officers peace, and your magistrates righteousness.
18“Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor ruin within your borders. And you shall call your walls Deliverance, and your gates Praise.
19“No longer is the sun your light by day, nor does the moon give light to you for brightness, but יהוה shall be to you an everlasting light, and your Elohim your comeliness.
20“No longer does your sun go down, nor your moon withdraw itself, for יהוה shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.
21“And your people, all of them righteous, shall inherit the earth forever – a branch of My planting, a work of My hands, to be adorned.
22“The little shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation.#See Isa. 41:14; Dan. 2:34-44 I, יהוה, shall hasten it in its time.”
