The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
60: 1Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of Yahweh is risen on you. 60:2For, behold,
darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and
his glory shall be seen on you. 60:3Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of
your rising. 60:4Lift up your eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they
come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
60:5Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the
abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. 60:6The
multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba
shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Yahweh.
60:7All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to
you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.
60:8Who are these who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? 60:9Surely the isles shall
wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold
with them, for the name of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has
glorified you. 60:10Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in
my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you. 60:11Your gates also shall be open
continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the
nations, and their kings led captive. 60:12For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall
perish; yes, those nations shall be utterly wasted. 60:13The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the
fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make
the place of my feet glorious. 60:14The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you;
and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall
call you The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 60:15Whereas you have been
forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through you, I will make you an eternal excellency, a
joy of many generations. 60:16You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast
of kings; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty
One of Jacob. 60:17For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass,
and for stones iron. I will also make your officers peace, and righteousness your ruler. 60:18Violence
shall no more be heard in your land, desolation nor destruction within your borders; but you shall
call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. 60:19The sun shall be no more your light by day;
neither for brightness shall the moon give light to you: but Yahweh will be to you an everlasting
light, and your God your glory. 60:20Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon
withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be
ended. 60:21Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of
my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 60:22The little one shall become a
thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, Yahweh, will hasten it in its time.
