Isaiah 60:10–17

¹⁰Foreigners will build up your walls, ^p

and their kings will serve you. ^q

Although I struck you in My wrath,

yet I will show mercy to you with My favor. ^r

¹¹Your 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, ^s

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. ^t

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

its pine, fir, and cypress together ^v—

to beautify the place of My sanctuary,

and I will glorify My dwelling place. ^w

¹⁴The sons of your oppressors

will come and bow down to you; ^x

all who reviled you

will fall facedown at your feet. ^y

They will call you the City of the Lord,

Zion of the Holy One of Israel. ^z

¹⁵Instead of your being deserted and hated,

with no one passing through, ^a

I will make you an object of eternal pride, ^b

a joy from age to age.

¹⁶You will nurse on the milk of nations,

and nurse at the breast of kings; ^c

you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior ^d

and Redeemer, ^ethe Mighty One of Jacob. ^f

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 guard

and righteousness as your ruler.
