Isaiah 60:1-14

Revised Standard Version

⁴ Lift up your eyes round about, and see;
    they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from far,
    and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
⁵ Then you shall see and be radiant,
    your heart shall thrill and rejoice;^[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
    the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
⁶ A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of Mid′ian and Ephah;
    all those from Sheba shall come.
They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.
⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you,
    the rams of Nebai′oth shall minister to you;
they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
    and I will glorify my glorious house.

⁸ Who are these that fly like a cloud,
    and like doves to their windows?
⁹ For the coastlands shall wait for me,
    the ships of Tarshish first,
to bring your sons from far,
    their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
    and for the Holy One of Israel,
    because he has glorified you.

¹⁰ Foreigners shall build up your walls,
    and their kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I smote you,
    but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
¹¹ Your gates shall be open continually;
    day and night they shall not be shut;
that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
    with their kings led in procession.
¹² For the nation and kingdom
    that will not serve you shall perish;
    those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
¹³ The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
    the cypress, the plane, and the pine,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary;
    and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
¹⁴ The sons of those who oppressed you
    shall come bending low to you;
and all who despised you
    shall bow down at your feet;
they shall call you the City of the Lord,
    the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
