Isaiah 60:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 60:9

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.
