New Living Translation
Isaiah 59:15-60:22
New Living Translation
15 Yes, truth is gone,
and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.
The Lord looked and was displeased
to find there was no justice.
16 He was amazed to see that no one intervened
to help the oppressed.
So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm,
and his justice sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his body armor
and placed the helmet of salvation on his head.
He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance
and wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.
18 He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds.
His fury will fall on his foes.
He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth.
19 In the west, people will respect the name of the Lord;
in the east, they will glorify him.
For he will come like a raging flood tide
driven by the breath of the Lord.[a]
20 “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem
to buy back those in Israel
who have turned from their sins,”[b]
says the Lord.
21 “And this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit will not leave them, and neither will these words I have given you. They will be on your lips and on the lips of your children and your children’s children forever. I, the Lord, have spoken!
Future Glory for Jerusalem
60 “Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see.
For the glory of the Lord rises to shine on you.
2 Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth,
but the glory of the Lord rises and appears over you.
3 All nations will come to your light;
mighty kings will come to see your radiance.
4 “Look and see, for everyone is coming home!
Your sons are coming from distant lands;
your little daughters will be carried home.
5 Your eyes will shine,
and your heart will thrill with joy,
for merchants from around the world will come to you.
They will bring you the wealth of many lands.
6 Vast caravans of camels will converge on you,
the camels of Midian and Ephah.
The people of Sheba will bring gold and frankincense
and will come worshiping the Lord.
7 The flocks of Kedar will be given to you,
and the rams of Nebaioth will be brought for my altars.
I will accept their offerings,
and I will make my Temple glorious.
8 “And what do I see flying like clouds to Israel,
like doves to their nests?
9 They are ships from the ends of the earth,
from lands that trust in me,
led by the great ships of Tarshish.
They are bringing the people of Israel home from far away,
carrying their silver and gold.
They will honor the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has filled you with splendor.
10 “Foreigners will come to rebuild your towns,
and their kings will serve you.
For though I have destroyed you in my anger,
I will now have mercy on you through my grace.
11 Your gates will stay open day and night
to receive the wealth of many lands.
The kings of the world will be led as captives
in a victory procession.
12 For the nations that refuse to serve you
will be destroyed.
13 “The glory of Lebanon will be yours—
the forests of cypress, fir, and pine—
to beautify my sanctuary.
My Temple will be glorious!
14 The descendants of your tormentors
will come and bow before you.
Those who despised you
will kiss your feet.
They will call you the City of the Lord,
and Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Though you were once despised and hated,
with no one traveling through you,
I will make you beautiful forever,
a joy to all generations.
16 Powerful kings and mighty nations
will satisfy your every need,
as though you were a child
nursing at the breast of a queen.
You will know at last that I, the Lord,
am your Savior and your Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.[c]
17 I will exchange your bronze for gold,
your iron for silver,
your wood for bronze,
and your stones for iron.
I will make peace your leader
and righteousness your ruler.
18 Violence will disappear from your land;
the desolation and destruction of war will end.
Salvation will surround you like city walls,
and praise will be on the lips of all who enter there.
19 “No longer will you need the sun to shine by day,
nor the moon to give its light by night,
for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
20 Your sun will never set;
your moon will not go down.
For the Lord will be your everlasting light.
Your days of mourning will come to an end.
21 All your people will be righteous.
They will possess their land forever,
for I will plant them there with my own hands
in order to bring myself glory.
22 The smallest family will become a thousand people,
and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation.
At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

New International Version
Isaiah 59:15-60:22
New International Version
15 Truth(A) is nowhere to be found,
and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.
The Lord looked and was displeased
that there was no justice.(B)
16 He saw that there was no one,(C)
he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;(D)
so his own arm achieved salvation(E) for him,
and his own righteousness(F) sustained him.
17 He put on righteousness as his breastplate,(G)
and the helmet(H) of salvation on his head;
he put on the garments(I) of vengeance(J)
and wrapped himself in zeal(K) as in a cloak.
18 According to what they have done,
so will he repay(L)
wrath to his enemies
and retribution to his foes;
he will repay the islands(M) their due.
19 From the west,(N) people will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,(O) they will revere his glory.(P)
For he will come like a pent-up flood
that the breath(Q) of the Lord drives along.[a]
20 “The Redeemer(R) will come to Zion,(S)
to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,”(T)
declares the Lord.
21 “As for me, this is my covenant(U) with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit,(V) who is on you, will not depart from you,(W) and my words that I have put in your mouth(X) will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.
The Glory of Zion
60 “Arise,(Y) shine, for your light(Z) has come,
and the glory(AA) of the Lord rises upon you.
2 See, darkness(AB) covers the earth
and thick darkness(AC) is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
3 Nations(AD) will come to your light,(AE)
and kings(AF) to the brightness of your dawn.
4 “Lift up your eyes and look about you:
All assemble(AG) and come to you;
your sons come from afar,(AH)
and your daughters(AI) are carried on the hip.(AJ)
5 Then you will look and be radiant,(AK)
your heart will throb and swell with joy;(AL)
the wealth(AM) on the seas will be brought to you,
to you the riches of the nations will come.
6 Herds of camels(AN) will cover your land,
young camels of Midian(AO) and Ephah.(AP)
And all from Sheba(AQ) will come,
bearing gold and incense(AR)
and proclaiming the praise(AS) of the Lord.
7 All Kedar’s(AT) flocks will be gathered to you,
the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings(AU) on my altar,(AV)
and I will adorn my glorious temple.(AW)
8 “Who are these(AX) that fly along like clouds,(AY)
like doves to their nests?
9 Surely the islands(AZ) look to me;
in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,[b](BA)
bringing(BB) your children from afar,
with their silver and gold,(BC)
to the honor(BD) of the Lord your God,
the Holy One(BE) of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.(BF)
10 “Foreigners(BG) will rebuild your walls,
and their kings(BH) will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
in favor(BI) I will show you compassion.(BJ)
11 Your gates(BK) will always stand open,
they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations(BL)—
their kings(BM) led in triumphal procession.
12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve(BN) you will perish;
it will be utterly ruined.(BO)
13 “The glory of Lebanon(BP) will come to you,
the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,(BQ)
to adorn my sanctuary;(BR)
and I will glorify the place for my feet.(BS)
14 The children of your oppressors(BT) will come bowing before you;
all who despise you will bow down(BU) at your feet
and will call you the City(BV) of the Lord,
Zion(BW) of the Holy One(BX) of Israel.
15 “Although you have been forsaken(BY) and hated,
with no one traveling(BZ) through,
I will make you the everlasting pride(CA)
and the joy(CB) of all generations.
16 You will drink the milk of nations
and be nursed(CC) at royal breasts.
Then you will know(CD) that I, the Lord, am your Savior,(CE)
your Redeemer,(CF) the Mighty One of Jacob.(CG)
17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,(CH)
and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace(CI) your governor
and well-being your ruler.(CJ)
18 No longer will violence(CK) be heard in your land,
nor ruin or destruction(CL) within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation(CM)
and your gates Praise.(CN)
19 The sun will no more be your light by day,
nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,(CO)
and your God will be your glory.(CP)
20 Your sun(CQ) will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow(CR) will end.
21 Then all your people will be righteous(CS)
and they will possess(CT) the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,(CU)
the work of my hands,(CV)
for the display of my splendor.(CW)
22 The least of you will become a thousand,
the smallest a mighty nation.(CX)
I am the Lord;
in its time I will do this swiftly.”(CY)
