Isaiah 60:10–17

¹⁰Foreigners 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

¹¹Your 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.

¹²For the nation and the kingdom

that will not serve you will perish;

those nations will be annihilated.^p

¹³The glory of Lebanon will come to you^q—

its pine, elm, and cypress together^r—

to beautify the place of my sanctuary,

and I will glorify my dwelling place.^C

¹⁴The 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

¹⁵Instead 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.

¹⁶You will nurse on the milk of nations,

and nurse at the breast of kings;^x

you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior^y

and Redeemer,^z the Mighty One of Jacob.^aa

¹⁷I will bring gold instead of bronze;

I will bring silver instead of iron,

bronze instead of wood,

and iron instead of stones.

I will appoint peace as your government

and righteousness as your overseers.
