20 (C)“And (D)a Redeemer will come to Zion,
    to those in Jacob who turn from transgression,” declares the Lord.

21 “And as for me, (E)this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord: “My Spirit that is upon you, (F)and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children's offspring,” says the Lord, “from this time forth and forevermore.”

The Future Glory of Israel

60 (G)Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and (H)the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
    and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
    and his glory will be seen upon you.
(I)And nations shall come to your light,
    and kings to the brightness of your rising.

(J)Lift up your eyes all around, and see;
    they all gather together, they come to you;
(K)your sons shall come from afar,
    and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
Then you shall see and (L)be radiant;
    your heart shall thrill and exult,[b]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
    (M)the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of (N)Midian and (O)Ephah;
    all those from (P)Sheba shall come.
(Q)They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
All the flocks of (R)Kedar shall be gathered to you;
    the rams of (S)Nebaioth shall minister to you;
(T)they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
    (U)and I will beautify my beautiful house.

Who are these that fly like a cloud,
    and (V)like doves to their windows?
For (W)the coastlands shall hope for me,
    (X)the ships of Tarshish first,
(Y)to bring your children from afar,
    their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
    and for the Holy One of Israel,
    because (Z)he has made you beautiful.

10 (AA)Foreigners shall build up your walls,
    and (AB)their kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I struck you,
    but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 (AC)Your gates shall be open continually;
    day and night they shall not be shut,
(AD)that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
    with their kings led in procession.
12 (AE)For the nation and kingdom
    that will not serve you shall perish;
    those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
13 (AF)The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
    the cypress, the plane, and (AG)the pine,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary,
    and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 (AH)The sons of those who afflicted you
    shall come bending low to you,
(AI)and all who despised you
    shall bow down at your feet;
(AJ)they shall call you the City of the Lord,
    the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 (AK)Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
    with no one passing through,
(AL)I will make you majestic forever,
    a joy from age to age.
16 (AM)You shall suck the milk of nations;
    you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that (AN)I, the Lord, am your Savior
    and your Redeemer, (AO)the Mighty One of Jacob.

17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
    and instead of iron I will bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
    instead of stones, iron.
I will make your overseers peace
    (AP)and your taskmasters righteousness.
18 (AQ)Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
    devastation or destruction within your borders;
(AR)you shall call your walls Salvation,
    and your gates Praise.

19 (AS)The sun shall be no more
    your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
    give you light;[c]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your God will be your glory.[d]
20 Your sun shall no more go down,
    nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and (AT)your days of mourning shall be ended.
21 (AU)Your people shall all be righteous;
    (AV)they shall possess the land forever,
(AW)the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
    that I might be glorified.[e]
22 (AX)The least one shall become a clan,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation;
(AY)I am the Lord;
    in its time I will hasten it.

19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.

20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.

21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

14 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee; The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.

22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.
