Isaiah 60:10–17

¹⁰“^aForeigners will build up your walls,

And their ^bkings will minister to you;

For in My ^cwrath I struck you,

And in My favor I have had compassion on you.

¹¹“Your ^agates will be open continually;

They will not be closed day or night,

So that men may ^bbring to you the wealth of the nations,

With ^ctheir kings led in procession.

¹²“For the ^anation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish,

And the nations will be utterly ruined.

¹³“The ^aglory of Lebanon will come to you,

The ^bjuniper, the box tree and the cypress together,

To beautify the place of My sanctuary;

And I shall make the ^cplace of My feet glorious.

¹⁴“The ^asons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you,

And all those who despised you will bow themselves at the soles of your feet;

And they will call you the ^bcity of the Lord,

The ^cZion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵“Whereas you have been ^aforsaken and ^bhated

With no one passing through,

I will make you an everlasting ^cpride,

A joy from generation to generation.

¹⁶“You will also ^asuck the milk of nations

And suck the breast of kings;

Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your ^bSavior

And your ^cRedeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹⁷“Instead of bronze I will bring gold,

And instead of iron I will bring silver,

And instead of wood, bronze,

And instead of stones, iron.

And I will make peace your administrators

And righteousness your overseers.
