Isaiah 60:9
Compare all
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 “Thea 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 “Thea 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. 
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,
Neither1 wasting nor destruction within your borders;
But you shall call ayour walls Salvation,
And your gates Praise. 

God the Glory of His People

19 “The asun 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 byour God your glory. 
20 aYour 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.
