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.
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.
Neither1 wasting nor destruction within your borders;
But you shall call ayour walls Salvation,
And your gates Praise.
God the Glory of His People
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.
Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;
For the Lord will be your everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning shall be ended.
bThey shall inherit the land forever,
cThe branch of My planting,
dThe work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.
And a small one a strong nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
| << Isaiah 60:9 | Isaiah 60:11 >> |
