For your light has come!

And kings to the brightness of your rising.

Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

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.

They shall bring gold and incense,
And they shall proclaim the praises of the LORD.

The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;

And I will glorify the house of My glory.

Isa 60:8“Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?

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.

Isa 60:10

And their kings shall minister to you;
For in My wrath I struck you,
But in My favor I have had mercy on you.

They shall not be shut day or night,
That men may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,
And their kings in procession.

And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

Isa 60:13

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.

Isa 60:14

Isa 60:14Also 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.

Isa 60:15

Isa 60:15“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.

Isa 60:16

Isa 60:16You 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.

Isa 60:17

Isa 60:17“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.

Isa 60:18

Isa 60:18Violence 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

Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;

And your God your glory.

Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;
For the LORD will be your everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning shall be ended.

They shall inherit the land forever,
The branch of My planting,
The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.

Isa 60:22A little one shall become a thousand,
And a small one a strong nation.
I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time.”
