Isaiah 60:9–16

9 Yes, the coasts and islands will wait for meg

with the ships of Tarshish in the lead,h

to bring your children from far away,i

their silver and gold with them,

for the honor of the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel,j

who has glorified you.k

10 Foreigners will rebuild your walls,l

and their kings will serve you.m

Although I struck you in my wrath,

yet I will show mercy to you with my favor.n

11 Your city gates will always be open;

they will never be shut day or night

so that the wealth of the nations

may be brought into you,o

with their kings being led in procession.

12 For the nation and the kingdom

that will not serve you will perish;

those nations will be annihilated.p

13 The glory of Lebanon will come to youq—

its pine, elm, and cypress togetherr—

to beautify the place of my sanctuary,

and I will glorify my dwelling place.C

14 The sons of your oppressors

will come and bow down to you;s

all who reviled you

will fall facedown at your feet.t

They will call you the City of the Lord,

Zion of the Holy One of Israel.u

15 Instead of your being deserted and hated,

with no one passing through,v

I will make you an object of eternal pride,w

a joy from age to age.

16 You will nurse on the milk of nations,

and nurse at the breast of kings;x

you will know that I, the Lord, am your Saviory

and Redeemer,z the Mighty One of Jacob.aa
