60:2For, look, darkness covers the earth

and deep darkness covers2 the nations,

but the Lord shines on you;

his splendor3 appears over you.

Read in Logos
Isaiah 60:2–3: For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Footnotes

  1. 2 The verb “covers” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
  2. 3 Or “glory” (so most English versions); “the brightness of his presence.”
