Isaiah 60:3–11

³Nations will come to your light.

Kings will come to the brightness of your new day.

⁴“Look up. Look all around you.

All of your people are getting together to come back to you.

Your sons will come from far away.

Your daughters will be carried like little children.

⁵Then your face will glow with joy.

Your heart will beat fast because you are so happy.

Wealth from across the ocean will be brought to you.

The riches of the nations will come to you.

⁶Herds of young camels will cover your land.

They will come from Midian and Ephah.

They will also come from Sheba.

They’ll carry gold and incense.

And people will shout praises to me.

⁷All of Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you.

The rams of Nebaioth will serve as your sacrifices.

I will accept them as offerings on my altar.

That is how I will bring honor to my glorious temple.

⁸“Whose ships are these that sail along like clouds?

They fly like doves to their nests.

⁹People from the islands are coming to me.

The ships of Tarshish are out in front.

They are bringing your children back from far away.

Your children are bringing their silver and gold with them.

They are coming to honor me.

I am the Lord your God.

I am the Holy One of Israel.

I have honored you.

¹⁰“People from other lands will rebuild your walls.

Their kings will serve you.

When I was angry with you, I struck you.

But now I will show you my tender love.

¹¹Your gates will always stand open.

They will never be shut, day or night.

Then people can bring you the wealth of the nations.

Their kings will come along with them.
