Isaiah:60:1-66
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Arise ,
shine ;
for thy light is come ,
and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee .
*
For ,
behold ,
the darkness shall cover the earth ,
and gross darkness the people :
but the LORD shall arise upon thee ,
and his glory shall be seen upon thee .
*
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light ,
and kings to the brightness of thy rising .
*
Lift up thine eyes round about ,
and see :
all they gather themselves together ,
they come to thee :
thy sons shall come from far ,
and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side .
*
Then thou shalt see (
8675 ),
and flow together ,
and thine heart shall fear ,
and be enlarged ;
because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee ,
the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee .
*
The multitude of camels shall cover thee ,
the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah ;
all they from Sheba shall come :
they shall bring gold and incense ;
and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD .
*
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee ,
the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee :
they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar ,
and I will glorify the house of my glory tiph #

*
Who are these that fly as a cloud ,
and as the doves to their windows ?
*
Surely the isles shall wait for me ,
and the ships of Tarshish first ri #
shown #,
to bring thy sons from far ,
their silver and their gold with them ,
unto the name of the LORD thy God ,
and to the Holy One of Israel Yisra #
el #,
because he hath glorified thee .
*
And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls ,
and their kings shall minister unto thee :
for in my wrath I smote thee ,
but in my favour have I had mercy on thee .
*
Therefore thy gates shall be open continually ;
they shall not be shut day nor night ;
that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles ,
and that their kings may be brought .
*
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish ;
yea ,
those nations shall be utterly wasted .
*
The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee ,
the fir tree ,
the pine tree ,
and the box together ,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary ;
and I will make the place of my feet glorious .
*
The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee ;
and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet ;
and they shall call thee ,
The city of the LORD ,
The Zion of the Holy One of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated ,
so that no man went through thee ,
I will make thee an eternal excellency ga #
own #,
a joy of many generations .
*
Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles ,
and shalt suck the breast of kings :
and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer ,
the mighty One of Jacob Ya #

*
For brass I will bring gold ,
and for iron I will bring silver ,
and for wood brass ,
and for stones iron :
I will also make thy officers peace ,
and thine exactors righteousness .
*
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land ,
wasting nor destruction within thy borders ;
but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation y @
shuw #
ah #,
and thy gates Praise .
*
The sun shall be no more thy light by day ;
neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee :
but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light ,
and thy God thy glory tiph #

*
Thy sun shall no more go down ;
neither shall thy moon withdraw itself :
for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light ,
and the days of thy mourning shall be ended .
*
Thy people also shall be all righteous :
they shall inherit the land for ever ,
the branch of my planting ,
the work of my hands ,
that I may be glorified .
*
A little one shall become a thousand ,
and a small one a strong nation :
I the LORD will hasten it in his time .
