The Future Glory of Israel

60 ^(E)Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and ^(F)the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
²For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
    and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
    and his glory will be seen upon you.
³^(G)And nations shall come to your light,
    and kings to the brightness of your rising.

⁴^(H)Lift up your eyes all around, and see;
    they all gather together, they come to you;
^(I)your sons shall come from afar,
    and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
⁵Then you shall see and ^(J)be radiant;
    your heart shall thrill and exult,^[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
    ^(K)the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
⁶A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of ^(L)Midian and ^(M)Ephah;
    all those from ^(N)Sheba shall come.
^(O)They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
