Isaías 60

The Gentiles Bless Zion

1 Arise, *Eph. 5:14shine;

For your light has come!

And *Mal. 4:2the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,

And deep darkness the people;

But the Lord will arise over you,

And His glory will be seen upon you.

3 The *Is. 49:6, 23; Rev. 21:24Gentiles shall come to your light,

And kings to the brightness of your rising.

4 "Lift*Is. 49:18 up your eyes all around, and see:

They all gather together, *Is. 49:20–22they come to you;

Your sons shall come from afar,

And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

5 Then you shall see and become radiant,

And your heart shall swell with joy;

Because *(Rom. 11:25–27)the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,

The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.

6 The multitude of camels shall cover your land,

The dromedaries of Midian and *Gen. 25:4Ephah;

All those from *Gen. 25:3; Ps. 72:10Sheba shall come;

They shall bring *Is. 61:6; Matt. 2:11gold and incense,

And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.

7 All the flocks of *Gen. 25:13Kedar shall be gathered together to you,

The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;

They shall ascend with *Is. 56:7acceptance on My altar,

And *Is. 60:13; Hag. 2:7, 9I will glorify the house of My glory.

8 "Who are these who fly like a cloud,

And like doves to their roosts?

9 *Ps. 72:10Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me;

And the ships of Tarshish willcome first,

*(Gal. 4:26)To bring your sons from afar,

*Jer. 3:17Their silver and their gold with them,

To the name of the Lord your God,

And to the Holy One of Israel,

*Is. 55:5Because He has glorified you.

10 "The*Is. 14:1, 2; 61:5; Zech. 6:15 sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,

*Is. 49:23; Rev. 21:24And their kings shall minister to you;

For *Is. 57:17in My wrath I struck you,

*Is. 54:7, 8But in My favor I have had mercy on you.

11 Therefore your gates *Is. 26:2; 60:18; 62:10; Rev. 21:25, 26shall be open continually;

They shall not be shut day or night,

That men may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,

And their kings in procession.

12 *Is. 14:2; Zech. 14:17; Matt. 21:44For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,

And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

13 "The*Is. 35:2 glory of Lebanon shall come to you,

The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together,

To beautify the place of My sanctuary;

And I will make *1 Chr. 28:2; Ps. 132:7the place of My feet glorious.

14 Also the sons of those who afflicted you

Shall come *Is. 45:14bowing to you,

And all those who despised you shall *Is. 49:23; Rev. 3:9fall prostrate at the soles of your feet;

And they shall call you The City of the Lord,

*(Heb. 12:22; Rev. 14:1)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 "Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,

So that no one went through you,

I will make you an eternal excellence,

A joy of many generations.

16 You shall drink the milk of the Gentiles,

*Is. 49:23And milk the breast of kings;

You shall know that *Is. 43:3I, the Lord, am your Savior

And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

17 "Instead of bronze I will bring gold,

Instead of iron I will bring silver,

Instead of wood, bronze,

And instead of stones, iron.

I will also make your officers peace,

And your magistrates righteousness.

18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,

Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders;

But you shall call *Is. 26:1your walls Salvation,

And your gates Praise.

God the Glory of His People

19 "The *Rev. 21:23; 22:5sun shall no longer be your light by day,

Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;

But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,

And *Is. 41:16; 45:25; Zech. 2:5your God your glory.

20 *Amos 8:9Your sun shall no longer go down,

Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;

For the Lord will be your everlasting light,

And the days of your mourning shall be ended.

21 *Is. 52:1; Rev. 21:27Also your people shall all be righteous;

*Ps. 37:11; Matt. 5:5They shall inherit the land forever,

*Is. 61:3; (Matt. 15:13; John 15:2)The branch of My planting,

*Is. 29:23; (Eph. 2:10)The work of My hands,

That I may be glorified.

22 *Matt. 13:31, 32A little one shall become a thousand,

And a small one a strong nation.

I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time."
