# Isaiah 60 (New King James Version)
|
|
The Gentiles Bless Zion
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 60
|
|
###### 1 Arise, shine;
|
|
For your light has come!
|
|
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
|
|
And deep darkness the people;
|
|
But the Lord will arise over you,
|
|
And His glory will be seen upon you.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light,
|
|
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 "Lift up your eyes all around, and see:
|
|
They all gather together, they come to you;
|
|
Your sons shall come from afar,
|
|
And your daughters shall be nursed at _your_ side.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Then you shall see and become radiant,
|
|
And your heart shall swell with joy;
|
|
Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
|
|
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 The multitude of camels shall cover your _land,_
|
|
The dromedaries of Midian and Ephah;
|
|
All those from Sheba shall come;
|
|
They shall bring gold and incense,
|
|
And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you,
|
|
The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
|
|
They shall ascend with acceptance on My altar,
|
|
And I will glorify the house of My glory.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 "Who _are_ these _who_ fly like a cloud,
|
|
And like doves to their roosts?
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me;
|
|
And the ships of Tarshish _will come_ first,
|
|
To bring your sons from afar,
|
|
Their silver and their gold with them,
|
|
To the name of the Lord your God,
|
|
And to the Holy One of Israel,
|
|
Because He has glorified you.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 "The sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,
|
|
And their kings shall minister to you;
|
|
For in My wrath I struck you,
|
|
But in My favor I have had mercy on you.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Therefore your gates shall be open continually;
|
|
They shall not be shut day or night,
|
|
That _men_ may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,
|
|
And their kings in procession.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
|
|
And _those_ nations shall be utterly ruined.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 "The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
|
|
The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together,
|
|
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
|
|
And I will make the place of My feet glorious.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 Also the sons of those who afflicted you
|
|
Shall come bowing to you,
|
|
And all those who despised you shall fall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
|
|
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
|
|
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 "Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
|
|
So that no one went through _you,_
|
|
I will make you an eternal excellence,
|
|
A joy of many generations.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 You shall drink the milk of the Gentiles,
|
|
And milk the breast of kings;
|
|
You shall know that I, the Lord, _am_ your Savior
|
|
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 "Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
|
|
Instead of iron I will bring silver,
|
|
Instead of wood, bronze,
|
|
And instead of stones, iron.
|
|
I will also make your officers peace,
|
|
And your magistrates righteousness.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,
|
|
Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders;
|
|
But you shall call your walls Salvation,
|
|
And your gates Praise.God the Glory of His People
|
|
|
|
###### 19 "The sun shall no longer be your light by day,
|
|
Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
|
|
But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,
|
|
And your God your glory.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 Your sun shall no longer go down,
|
|
Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;
|
|
For the Lord will be your everlasting light,
|
|
And the days of your mourning shall be ended.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Also your people _shall_ all _be_ righteous;
|
|
They shall inherit the land forever,
|
|
The branch of My planting,
|
|
The work of My hands,
|
|
That I may be glorified.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 A little one shall become a thousand,
|
|
And a small one a strong nation.
|
|
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time."
