The Gentiles Bless Zion
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
They all gather together, bthey come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
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.
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.
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.
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.
bAnd their kings shall minister to you;
For cin My wrath I struck you,
dBut in My favor I have had mercy on you.
They shall not be shut day or night,
That men may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,
And their kings in procession.
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.
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.
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.
So that no one went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellence,
A joy of many generations.
aAnd milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that bI, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
| << Isaiah 60:1 | Isaiah 60:3 >> |
