CHAPTER 60.
ARISE, be enlightened, O Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory
of the Lord is risen upon thee.
2 For behold darkness shall cover the earth, and a mist
the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen
upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall walk in thy light, and kings
in the brightness of thy rising.
4 Lift up thy eyes round about, and see: all these are
gathered together, they are come to thee: thy sons shah come from afar, and thy
daughters shall rise up at thy side.
5 Then shalt thou see, and abound, and thy heart shall
wonder and be enlarged, when the multitude of the sea shall be converted to
thee, the. strength of the Gentiles shall come to thee.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the
dromedaries of Madian and Epha: all they from Saba shall come, bringing gold
and frankincense: and shewing forth praise to the Lord.
7 All the flocks of Cedar shall be gathered together
unto thee, the rams of Nabaioth shall minister to thee: they shall be offered
upon my acceptable altar, and I will glorify the house of my majesty.
8 Who are these, that fly as clouds, and as doves to
their windows?
9 For, the islands wait for me, and the ships of the
sea in the beginning: that I may bring thy sons from afar: their silver, and
their gold with them, to the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of
Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the children of strangers shall build up thy
walls, and their kings shall minister to thee: for in my wrath have I struck
thee, and in my reconciliation have I had mercy upon thee.
11 And thy gates shall be open continually: they shall
not be shut day nor night, that the strength of the Gentiles may be brought to
thee, and their kings may be brought.
12 For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve
thee, shall perish: and the Gentiles shall be wasted with desolation.
13 The glory of Libanus shall come to thee, the Ar
tree, and the box tree, and the pine tree together, to beautify the place of my
sanctuary: and I will glorify the place of my feet.
14 And the children of them that afflict thee, shall
come bowing down to thee, and all that slandered thee shall worship the steps
of thy feet, and shall call thee the city of the Lord, the Sion of the Holy One
of Israel.
15 Because thou wast forsaken, and hated, and there was
none that passed through thee, I will make thee to be an everlasting glory, a
joy unto generation and generation:
16 And thou shalt suck the milk of the Gentiles, and
thou shalt be nursed with the breasts of kings: and thou shalt know that I am
the Lord thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will
bring silver: and for wood brass, and for stones iron: and I will make thy
visitation peace, and thy overseers justice.
18 Iniquity shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting
nor destruction in thy borders, and salvation shall possess thy walls, and
praise thy gates.
19 Thou shalt no more have the sun for thy light by
day, neither shall the brightness of the moon enlighten thee: but the Lord
shall be unto thee for an everlasting light, and thy God for thy glory.
20 Thy sun shall go down no more, and thy moon shall
not decrease: for the Lord shall be unto thee for an everlasting light, and the
days of thy mourning shall be ended.
21 And thy people shall be all just, they shall inherit
the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hand to glorify
me.
22 The least shall become a thousand, and a little one
a most strong nation: I the Lord will suddenly do this thing in its time.
