Isaiah 60:18-22

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ People will no longer harm one another in your land.
    They will not wipe out or destroy anything inside your borders.
You will call your walls Salvation.
    And you will name your gates Praise.
¹⁹ You will not need the light of the sun by day anymore.
    The bright light of the moon will no longer have to shine on you.
I will be your light forever.
    My glory will shine on you.
    I am the Lord your God.
²⁰ Your sun will never set again.
    Your moon will never lose its light.
I will be your light forever.
    Your days of sorrow will come to an end.
²¹ Then all your people will do what is right.
    The land will belong to them forever.
They will be like a young tree I have planted.
    My hands have created them.
    They will show how glorious I am.
²² The smallest family among you will become a tribe.
    The smallest tribe will become a mighty nation.
I am the Lord.
    When it is the right time, I will act quickly.”
