Isaiah 60:15-22
English Standard Version
15 (A)Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
with no one passing through,
(B)I will make you majestic forever,
a joy from age to age.
16 (C)You shall suck the milk of nations;
you shall nurse at the breast of kings;
and you shall know that (D)I, the Lord, am your Savior
and your Redeemer, (E)the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
and instead of iron I will bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
instead of stones, iron.
I will make your overseers peace
(F)and your taskmasters righteousness.
18 (G)Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
devastation or destruction within your borders;
(H)you shall call your walls Salvation,
and your gates Praise.
19 (I)The sun shall be no more
your light by day,
nor for brightness shall the moon
give you light;[a]
but the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.[b]
20 Your sun shall no more go down,
nor your moon withdraw itself;
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and (J)your days of mourning shall be ended.
21 (K)Your people shall all be righteous;
(L)they shall possess the land forever,
(M)the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
that I might be glorified.[c]
22 (N)The least one shall become a clan,
and the smallest one a mighty nation;
(O)I am the Lord;
in its time I will hasten it.
