Isaiah 60:1-8

American Standard Version

60 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee. ²For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ³And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

⁴Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be ^[a]carried in the arms. ⁵Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. ⁶The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the ^[b]dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall ^[c]proclaim the praises of Jehovah. ⁷All 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 ^[d]glorify ^[e]the house of my glory. ⁸Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
