* Arise , shine ; for your light has come , and the glory of Jehovah has risen on you ! * For behold , the darkness shall cover the earth , and gross darkness the peoples . But Jehovah shall rise on you , and His glory shall be seen on you . * And nations shall walk to your light , and kings to the brightness of your dawning . * Lift up your eyes all around and see ; they are all assembling ; they are coming to you . Your sons shall come from far away , and your daughters shall be supported on the side . * Then you shall fear and be bright ; and your heart shall dread and swell . For the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you ; the wealth of nations shall come to you . * A host of camels shall cover you , young camels of Midian and Ephah . All of them shall come from Sheba , they shall carry gold and incense ; and they shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah . * All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you ; rams of Nebaioth shall serve you ; they shall come up for acceptance on My altar ; and I will glorify the house of My glory . * Who are these who fly like a cloud , and with the doves to their windows ? * For the coastlands shall wait for Me , and the ships of Tarshish at the first , to bring your sons from far away , their silver and their gold to them , to the name of Jehovah your God , and to the Holy One of Israel , because He has glorified you . * And the sons of the stranger shall build your walls ; and their kings shall serve you . For I struck you in My wrath , but I pitied you in My favor . * So your gates shall be always open ; they shall not be shut day or night , so that men may bring to you the force of nations , and that their kings may be led . * For the nations and the kingdom that will not serve you shall perish ; yea , the nations shall be utterly destroyed . * The glory of Lebanon shall come to you : the juniper , the box tree , and the cypress together , to beautify the place of My sanctuary ; yea , I will glorify the place of My feet . * Also the sons of your afflicters shall come bowing to you . And all who despised you shall fall at the soles of your feet . And they shall call you , The City of Jehovah , the Zion of the Holy One of Israel . * Instead of your being forsaken and hated , so that no one passes through , I will make you for everlasting majesty , a joy of many generations . * You shall also suck the milk of nations , and you shall suck the breast of kings . And you shall know that I , Jehovah , am your Savior and your Redeemer , the mighty One of Jacob . * Instead of bronze , I will bring gold ; and instead of iron , I will bring silver . And instead of timber , bronze ; and instead of stones , iron . And I will make your governors peace , and your exacters righteousness . * Violence shall not still be heard in your land , or wasting and ruin within your borders ; but you shall call your walls , Salvation , and your gates , Praise . * The sun shall not still be your light by day , or the brightness of the moon give you light ; but Jehovah shall be for everlasting light to you , and your God for your beauty . * Your sun shall not set any more ; and your moon shall not withdraw ; for Jehovah will become your everlasting light ; and the days of your mourning shall end . * And your people shall all be righteous ; they shall possess the earth forever , a branch of My planting , a work of My hands , to beautify Myself . * A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation . I , Jehovah , will hasten it in its time .
