Isaiah 60:15-22

New King James Version

¹⁵“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
So that no one went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellence,
A joy of many generations.
¹⁶You shall drink the milk of the Gentiles,
^(A)And milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that ^(B)I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹⁷“Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
Instead of iron I will bring silver,
Instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
I will also make your officers peace,
And your magistrates righteousness.
¹⁸Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,
Neither ^[a]wasting nor destruction within your borders;
But you shall call ^(C)your walls Salvation,
And your gates Praise.

God the Glory of His People

¹⁹“The ^(D)sun shall no longer be your light by day,
Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,
And ^(E)your God your glory.
²⁰^(F)Your sun shall no longer go down,
Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;
For the Lord will be your everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning shall be ended.
²¹^(G)Also your people shall all be righteous;
^(H)They shall inherit the land forever,
^(I)The branch of My planting,
^(J)The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.
²²^(K)A little one shall become a thousand,
And a small one a strong nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
