⁴ “^(G)Raise your eyes all around and see;
They all gather together, they ^(H)come to you.
Your sons will come from afar,
And your ^(I)daughters will be ^[a]carried on the hip.
⁵ Then you will see and be ^(J)radiant,
And your heart will ^[b]thrill and rejoice;
Because the ^[c](K)abundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The ^(L)wealth of the nations will come to you.
⁶ A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and ^(M)Ephah;
All those from ^(N)Sheba will come;
They will bring ^(O)gold and frankincense,
And ^(P)proclaim good news of the praises of the Lord.
⁷ All the flocks of ^(Q)Kedar will be gathered to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
They will go up on My ^(R)altar with acceptance,
And I will ^(S)glorify My glorious house.
^8 (T)Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their windows?
⁹ Certainly the ^(U)coastlands will wait for Me;
And the ^(V)ships of Tarshish will come first,
To ^(W)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 ^(X)glorified you.

¹⁰ “^(Y)Foreigners will build up your walls,
And their ^(Z)kings will serve you;
For in My ^(AA)wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.
¹¹ Your ^(AB)gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that people may ^(AC)bring you the wealth of the nations,
With ^(AD)their kings led in procession.
¹² For the ^(AE)nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish,
And the nations will be utterly ruined.
¹³ The ^(AF)glory of Lebanon will come to you,
The ^(AG)juniper, the elm tree and the ^[d]cedar together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make the ^(AH)place of My feet glorious.
¹⁴ The ^(AI)sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you,
And all those who despised you will bow down at the soles of your feet;
And they will call you the ^(AJ)city of the Lord,
The ^(AK)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵ “Whereas you have been ^(AL)forsaken and ^(AM)hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an ^(AN)object of pride forever,
A joy from generation to generation.
¹⁶ You will also ^(AO)suck the milk of nations,
And suck the breast of kings;
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your ^(AP)Savior
And your ^(AQ)Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
¹⁷ Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
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.
^18 (AR)Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor ^(AS)devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your ^(AT)walls salvation, and your ^(AU)gates praise.
¹⁹ No longer will you have the ^(AV)sun for light by day,
Nor will the moon give you light for brightness;
But you will have the ^(AW)Lord as an everlasting light,
And your ^(AX)God as your ^[e]glory.
²⁰ Your ^(AY)sun will no longer set,
Nor will your moon wane;
For you will have the Lord as an everlasting light,
And the days of your ^(AZ)mourning will be over.
²¹ Then all your ^(BA)people will be righteous;
They will ^(BB)possess the land forever,
The branch of ^[f]My planting,
The ^(BC)work of My hands,
That I may be ^(BD)glorified.
²² The ^(BE)smallest one will become a thousand,
And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the Lord, will bring it about quickly in its time.”

⁴ Then they will ^(L)rebuild the ancient ruins,
They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
^5 (M)Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks,
And ^[e]foreigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.
⁶ But you will be called the ^(N)priests of the Lord;
You will be spoken of as ^(O)ministers of our God.
You will eat the ^(P)wealth of nations,
And you will boast in their ^[f]riches.
⁷ Instead of your ^(Q)shame you will have a ^(R)double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
^(S)Everlasting joy will be theirs.
⁸ For I, the Lord, ^(T)love justice,
I hate robbery ^[g]in the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their reward,
And make an ^(U)everlasting covenant with them.
⁹ Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them
Because they are the ^(V)offspring whom the Lord has blessed.

¹⁰ I will ^(W)rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will be joyful in ^(X)my God;
For He has ^(Y)clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a groom puts on a turban,
And ^(Z)as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
¹¹ For as the ^(AA)earth produces its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord ^[h]God will ^(AB)cause ^(AC)righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.

⁶ On your walls, Jerusalem, I have appointed ^(J)watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who ^(K)profess the Lord, take no rest for yourselves;
⁷ And ^(L)give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes ^(M)Jerusalem an object of praise on the earth.
^8 (N)The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm:
“I will ^(O)never again give your grain as food for your enemies,
Nor will ^[f]foreigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”
⁹ But those who ^(P)harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courtyards of My sanctuary.

¹⁰ Go through, ^(Q)go through the gates,
Clear a way ^[g]for the people!
^(R)Build up, build up the ^(S)highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a ^(T)flag over the peoples.
¹¹ Behold, the Lord has proclaimed to the ^(U)end of the earth:
^(V)Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your ^(W)salvation is coming;
^(X)Behold His reward is with Him, and His compensation before Him.”
¹² And they will call them, “^(Y)The holy people,
The ^(Z)redeemed of the Lord”;
And you will be called, “Sought Out, A City ^(AA)Not Abandoned.”
