And your daughters will be [fn]carried in the arms.

Because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The wealth of the nations will come to you.

All those from Sheba will come;
They will bring gold and frankincense,
And will bear good news of the praises of the LORD.

The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you;
They will go up with acceptance on My altar,
And I shall [fn]glorify My [fn]glorious house.
Isa 60:8“Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their [fn]lattices?
Isa 60:9“Surely the coastlands will wait for Me;

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 [fn]glorified you.

And their kings will minister to you;
For in My wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.

They will not be closed day or night,
So that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
With their kings led in procession.

And the nations will be utterly ruined.

The juniper, the box tree and the cypress together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I shall make the place of My feet glorious.

And all those who despised you will bow themselves at the soles of your feet;
And they will call you the city of the LORD,
The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Isa 60:15“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an everlasting pride,
A joy from generation to generation.

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.

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.
Isa 60:18“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.

Nor for brightness will the moon give you light;
But you will have the LORD for an everlasting light,
And your God for your [fn]glory.

Nor will your moon wane;
For you will have the LORD for an everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning will be over.

They will possess the land forever,
The branch of [fn]My planting,
The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.

And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time.”
