NASB Bible

Isaiah 60

A Glorified Zion

1

aArise, shine; for your  blight has come, And the  cglory of the LORD has risen upon you.

2

"For behold,  adarkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His  bglory will appear upon you.

3

aNations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.

4

aLift up your eyes round about and see; They all gather together, they  bcome to you. Your sons will come from afar, And your  cdaughters will be  1carried in the arms.

5

"Then you will see and be  aradiant, And your heart will  1thrill and rejoice; Because the  babundance of the sea will be turned to you, The  cwealth of the nations will come to you.

6

"A multitude of camels will cover you, The young camels of Midian and  aEphah; All those from  bSheba will come; They will bring  cgold and frankincense, And will  dbear good news of the praises of the LORD.

7

"All the flocks of  aKedar will be gathered together to you, The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you; They will go up with acceptance on My  baltar, And I shall  1 cglorify My  2glorious house.

8

aWho are these who fly like a cloud And like the doves to their  1lattices?

9

"Surely the  acoastlands will wait for Me; And the  bships of Tarshish will come first, To  cbring your sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them, For the name of the LORD your God, And for the Holy One of Israel because He has  1 dglorified you.

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.

18

aViolence will not be heard again in your land, Nor  bdevastation or destruction within your borders; But you will call your  cwalls salvation, and your  dgates praise.

19

"No longer will you have the  asun for light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; But you will have the  bLORD for an everlasting light, And your  cGod for your  1glory.

20

"Your  asun will no longer set, Nor will your moon wane; For you will have the LORD for an everlasting light, And the days of your  bmourning will be over.

21

"Then all your  apeople will be righteous; They will  bpossess the land forever, The branch of  1My planting, The  cwork of My hands, That I may be  dglorified.

22

"The  asmallest one will become a  1clan, And the least one a mighty nation. I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time."
