Isaiah 60:3 - John Wesley's Notes

Isaiah 60:3

The Gentiles Bless Zion

1 Arise, ^ashine;
For your light has come!
And ^bthe 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 ^aGentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

4 “Lift^a up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, ^bthey 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 ^athe 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 ^aEphah;
All those from ^bSheba shall come;
They shall bring ^cgold and incense,
And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.

7 All the flocks of ^aKedar shall be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
They shall ascend with ^bacceptance on My altar,
And ^cI will glorify the house of My glory.

8 “Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?

9 ^aSurely the coastlands shall wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
^bTo bring your sons from afar,
^cTheir silver and their gold with them,
To the name of the Lord your God,
And to the Holy One of Israel,
^dBecause He has glorified you.

10 “The^a sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,
^bAnd their kings shall minister to you;
For ^cin My wrath I struck you,
^dBut in My favor I have had mercy on you.

11 Therefore your gates ^ashall 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 ^aFor the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

13 “The^a 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 ^bthe place of My feet glorious.

14 Also the sons of those who afflicted you
Shall come ^abowing to you,
And all those who despised you shall ^bfall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
^cZion 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,
^aAnd milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that ^bI, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
