Isaiah 60:9-22
New American Standard Bible
9 Certainly the (A)coastlands will wait for Me;
And the (B)ships of Tarshish will come first,
To (C)bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
And for the Holy One of Israel because He has (D)glorified you.
10 “(E)Foreigners will build up your walls,
And their (F)kings will serve you;
For in My (G)wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.
11 Your (H)gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that people may (I)bring you the wealth of the nations,
With (J)their kings led in procession.
12 For the (K)nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish,
And the nations will be utterly ruined.
13 The (L)glory of Lebanon will come to you,
The (M)juniper, the elm tree and the [a]cedar together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make the (N)place of My feet glorious.
14 The (O)sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you,
And all those who despised you will bow down at the soles of your feet;
And they will call you the (P)city of the Lord,
The (Q)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Whereas you have been (R)forsaken and (S)hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an (T)object of pride forever,
A joy from generation to generation.
16 You will also (U)suck the milk of nations,
And suck the breast of kings;
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your (V)Savior
And your (W)Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
And instead of iron I will bring silver,
And instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
And I will make peace your administrators,
And righteousness your overseers.
18 (X)Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor (Y)devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your (Z)walls salvation, and your (AA)gates praise.
19 No longer will you have the (AB)sun for light by day,
Nor will the moon give you light for brightness;
But you will have the (AC)Lord as an everlasting light,
And your (AD)God as your [b]glory.
20 Your (AE)sun will no longer set,
Nor will your moon wane;
For you will have the Lord as an everlasting light,
And the days of your (AF)mourning will be over.
21 Then all your (AG)people will be righteous;
They will (AH)possess the land forever,
The branch of [c]My planting,
The (AI)work of My hands,
That I may be (AJ)glorified.
22 The (AK)smallest one will become a thousand,
And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the Lord, will bring it about quickly in its time.”
