Isaiah 60:1-10

New King James Version

The Gentiles Bless Zion

60 Arise, ^(A)shine;
For your light has come!
And ^(B)the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
²For 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.
³The ^(C)Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

⁴“Lift^(D) up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, ^(E)they come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
⁵Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because ^(F)the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
⁶The multitude of camels shall cover your land,
The dromedaries of Midian and ^(G)Ephah;
All those from ^(H)Sheba shall come;
They shall bring ^(I)gold and incense,
And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.
⁷All the flocks of ^(J)Kedar shall be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
They shall ascend with ^(K)acceptance on My altar,
And ^(L)I will glorify the house of My glory.

⁸“Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?
⁹^(M)Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
^(N)To bring your sons from afar,
^(O)Their silver and their gold with them,
To the name of the Lord your God,
And to the Holy One of Israel,
^(P)Because He has glorified you.

¹⁰“The^(Q) sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,
^(R)And their kings shall minister to you;
For ^(S)in My wrath I struck you,
^(T)But in My favor I have had mercy on you.
