Isaiah 60:1-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
A Glorified Zion
60 “(A)Arise, shine; for your (B)light has come,
And the (C)glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
2 “For behold, (D)darkness will cover the earth
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the Lord will rise upon you
And His (E)glory will appear upon you.
3 “(F)Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 “(G)Lift up your eyes round about 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 in the arms.
5 “Then you will see and be (J)radiant,
And your heart will [b]thrill and rejoice;
Because the (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 will (P)bear good news of the praises of the Lord.
7 “All the flocks of (Q)Kedar will be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you;
They will go up with acceptance on My (R)altar,
And I shall [c](S)glorify My [d]glorious house.
8 “(T)Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their [e]lattices?
