Isaiah 60:15–22

15 “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,

So that no one went through you,

I will make you an eternal excellence,

A joy of many generations.

16 You shall drink the milk of the Gentiles,

bAnd milk the breast of kings;

You shall know that cI, the Lord, am your Savior

And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

17 “Instead of bronze I will bring gold,

Instead of iron I will bring silver,

Instead of wood, bronze,

And instead of stones, iron.

I will also make your officers peace,

And your magistrates righteousness.

18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,

Neither 1wasting nor destruction within your borders;

But you shall call dyour walls Salvation,

And your gates Praise.

God the Glory of His People

19 “The esun shall no longer be your light by day,

Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;

But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,

And fyour God your glory.

20 gYour sun shall no longer go down,

Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;

For the Lord will be your everlasting light,

And the days of your mourning shall be ended.

21 hAlso your people shall all be righteous;

iThey shall inherit the land forever,

jThe branch of My planting,

kThe work of My hands,

That I may be glorified.

22 lA little one shall become a thousand,

And a small one a strong nation.

I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
