⁴ “Lift up your eyes and look about you:
    All assemble^(I) and come to you;
your sons come from afar,^(J)
    and your daughters^(K) are carried on the hip.^(L)
5 Then you will look and be radiant,^(M)
    your heart will throb and swell with joy;^(N)
the wealth^(O) on the seas will be brought to you,
    to you the riches of the nations will come.
⁶ Herds of camels^(P) will cover your land,
    young camels of Midian^(Q) and Ephah.^(R)
And all from Sheba^(S) will come,
    bearing gold and incense^(T)
    and proclaiming the praise^(U) of the Lord.
⁷ All Kedar’s^(V) flocks will be gathered to you,
    the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings^(W) on my altar,^(X)
    and I will adorn my glorious temple.^(Y)

⁸ “Who are these^(Z) that fly along like clouds,^(AA)
    like doves to their nests?
⁹ Surely the islands^(AB) look to me;
    in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,^[a](AC)
bringing^(AD) your children from afar,
    with their silver and gold,^(AE)
to the honor^(AF) of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One^(AG) of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.^(AH)

¹⁰ “Foreigners^(AI) will rebuild your walls,
    and their kings^(AJ) will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
    in favor^(AK) I will show you compassion.^(AL)
11 Your gates^(AM) will always stand open,
    they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations^(AN)—
    their kings^(AO) led in triumphal procession.
¹² For the nation or kingdom that will not serve^(AP) you will perish;
    it will be utterly ruined.^(AQ)

¹³ “The glory of Lebanon^(AR) will come to you,
    the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,^(AS)
to adorn my sanctuary;^(AT)
    and I will glorify the place for my feet.^(AU)
14 The children of your oppressors^(AV) will come bowing before you;
    all who despise you will bow down^(AW) at your feet
and will call you the City^(AX) of the Lord,
    Zion^(AY) of the Holy One^(AZ) of Israel.

¹⁵ “Although you have been forsaken^(BA) and hated,
    with no one traveling^(BB) through,
I will make you the everlasting pride^(BC)
    and the joy^(BD) of all generations.
¹⁶ You will drink the milk of nations
    and be nursed^(BE) at royal breasts.
Then you will know^(BF) that I, the Lord, am your Savior,^(BG)
    your Redeemer,^(BH) the Mighty One of Jacob.^(BI)
17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,^(BJ)
    and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
    and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace^(BK) your governor
    and well-being your ruler.^(BL)
18 No longer will violence^(BM) be heard in your land,
    nor ruin or destruction^(BN) within your borders,
but you will call your walls Salvation^(BO)
    and your gates Praise.^(BP)
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,^(BQ)
    and your God will be your glory.^(BR)
20 Your sun^(BS) will never set again,
    and your moon will wane no more;
the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your days of sorrow^(BT) will end.
²¹ Then all your people will be righteous^(BU)
    and they will possess^(BV) the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,^(BW)
    the work of my hands,^(BX)
    for the display of my splendor.^(BY)
22 The least of you will become a thousand,
    the smallest a mighty nation.^(BZ)
I am the Lord;
    in its time I will do this swiftly.”^(CA)

⁴ They will rebuild the ancient ruins^(CT)
    and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
    that have been devastated for generations.
⁵ Strangers^(CU) will shepherd your flocks;
    foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
⁶ And you will be called priests^(CV) of the Lord,
    you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth^(CW) of nations,
    and in their riches you will boast.

⁷ Instead of your shame^(CX)
    you will receive a double^(CY) portion,
and instead of disgrace
    you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit^(CZ) a double portion in your land,
    and everlasting joy^(DA) will be yours.

⁸ “For I, the Lord, love justice;^(DB)
    I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
    and make an everlasting covenant^(DC) with them.
⁹ Their descendants^(DD) will be known among the nations
    and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
    that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”^(DE)

¹⁰ I delight greatly in the Lord;
    my soul rejoices^(DF) in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
    and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,^(DG)
as a bridegroom adorns his head^(DH) like a priest,
    and as a bride^(DI) adorns herself with her jewels.
¹¹ For as the soil makes the sprout come up
    and a garden^(DJ) causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness^(DK)
    and praise spring up before all nations.

⁶ I have posted watchmen^(DZ) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,^(EA)
7 and give him no rest^(EB) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise^(EC) of the earth.

⁸ The Lord has sworn^(ED) by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain^(EE)
    as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
    for which you have toiled;
⁹ but those who harvest it will eat^(EF) it
    and praise the Lord,^(EG)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”^(EH)

¹⁰ Pass through, pass through the gates!^(EI)
    Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!^(EJ)
    Remove the stones.
Raise a banner^(EK) for the nations.

¹¹ The Lord has made proclamation
    to the ends of the earth:^(EL)
“Say to Daughter Zion,^(EM)
    ‘See, your Savior comes!^(EN)
See, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.’”^(EO)
12 They will be called^(EP) the Holy People,^(EQ)
    the Redeemed^(ER) of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
    the City No Longer Deserted.^(ES)

“It is I, proclaiming victory,
    mighty to save.”^(EX)

² Why are your garments red,
    like those of one treading the winepress?^(EY)

³ “I have trodden the winepress^(EZ) alone;
    from the nations no one was with me.
I trampled^(FA) them in my anger
    and trod them down in my wrath;^(FB)
their blood spattered my garments,^(FC)
    and I stained all my clothing.
⁴ It was for me the day of vengeance;^(FD)
    the year for me to redeem had come.
⁵ I looked, but there was no one^(FE) to help,
    I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm^(FF) achieved salvation for me,
    and my own wrath sustained me.^(FG)
6 I trampled^(FH) the nations in my anger;
    in my wrath I made them drunk^(FI)
    and poured their blood^(FJ) on the ground.”

¹¹ Then his people recalled^[f] the days of old,
    the days of Moses and his people—
where is he who brought them through the sea,^(FY)
    with the shepherd of his flock?^(FZ)
Where is he who set
    his Holy Spirit^(GA) among them,
¹² who sent his glorious arm^(GB) of power
    to be at Moses’ right hand,
who divided the waters^(GC) before them,
    to gain for himself everlasting renown,^(GD)
13 who led^(GE) them through the depths?^(GF)
Like a horse in open country,
    they did not stumble;^(GG)
14 like cattle that go down to the plain,
    they were given rest^(GH) by the Spirit of the Lord.
This is how you guided your people
    to make for yourself a glorious name.

¹⁵ Look down from heaven^(GI) and see,
    from your lofty throne,^(GJ) holy and glorious.
Where are your zeal^(GK) and your might?
    Your tenderness and compassion^(GL) are withheld^(GM) from us.
¹⁶ But you are our Father,^(GN)
    though Abraham does not know us
    or Israel acknowledge^(GO) us;
you, Lord, are our Father,
    our Redeemer^(GP) from of old is your name.
¹⁷ Why, Lord, do you make us wander^(GQ) from your ways
    and harden our hearts^(GR) so we do not revere^(GS) you?
Return^(GT) for the sake of your servants,
    the tribes that are your inheritance.^(GU)
18 For a little while^(GV) your people possessed your holy place,
    but now our enemies have trampled^(GW) down your sanctuary.^(GX)
19 We are yours from of old;
    but you have not ruled over them,
    they have not been called^[g] by your name.^(GY)
