Isaiah 60:10–17

¹⁰Foreigners shall build up your walls,

and their kings shall minister to you;

for in my wrath I smote you,

but in my favor I have had mercy on you.

¹¹Your gates shall be open continually;

day and night they shall not be shut;

that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,

with their kings led in procession.

¹²For the nation and kingdom

that will not serve you shall perish;

those nations shall be utterly laid waste.

¹³The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,

the cypress, the plane, and the pine,

to beautify the place of my sanctuary;

and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

¹⁴The sons of those who oppressed you

shall come bending low to you;

and all who despised you

shall bow down at your feet;

they shall call you the City of the Lord,

the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,

with no one passing through,

I will make you majestic for ever,

a joy from age to age.

¹⁶You shall suck the milk of nations,

you shall suck the breast of kings;

and you shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior

and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹⁷Instead of bronze I will bring gold,

and instead of iron I will bring silver;

instead of wood, bronze, instead of stones, iron.

I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness.
