* 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 peoples : but the LORD shall arise upon thee , and his glory shall be seen upon thee . * And the Gentiles shall walk to thy light , and the kings to the brightness of thy birth . * Lift up thine eyes round about and see : they all 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 , and thou shall shine , and thine heart shall marvel , and be enlarged because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee , the strength of the Gentiles shall have come unto thee . * The multitude of camels shall cover thee , the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah ; all those from Sheba shall come : they shall bring gold and incense ; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD . * All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee , rams of Nebaioth shall be served unto thee : they shall be offered up with grace upon my altar , and I will glorify the house of my glory . * Who [are ] these [that ] fly as a cloud , and as the doves to their windows ? * For the isles shall wait for me , and the ships of Tarshish from the first , 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 , who has glorified thee . * And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls , and their kings shall serve thee ; for in my wrath I smote thee , but in my good favour I shall have mercy on thee . * Therefore thy gates shall be open continually ; they shall not be shut day nor night ; that the strength of the Gentiles may be brought unto thee , and their kings guided . * For the people or the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish and 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 honour the place of my feet . * The sons also of those that afflicted thee shall come humbled unto thee ; and at the steps of thy feet all those that despised thee shall bow themselves down ; and they shall call thee , The city of the LORD , The Zion of the Holy One of Israel . * Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated , so that no man went through [thee ], I will place thee in eternal glory , in joy from generation to generation . * Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles , and shalt suck the breast of the kings : and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am ] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer , the mighty One of Jacob . * For brass I will bring gold , and for iron I will bring silver , and for wood brass , and for the stones iron ; I will also put peace [in the place of ] thy government , and righteousness [in the place of ] thine oppressors . * Violence shall no more be heard in thy land , wasting nor destruction within thy borders ; but thou shalt call thy walls Saving Health and thy gates Praise . * The sun shall no longer be thy light by day ; nor shall the moon give light unto thee for brightness ; but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light and thy God thy glory . * Thy sun shall set no more ; neither shall thy moon wane : for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light , and the days of thy mourning shall be ended . * And thy people [shall ] all [be ] righteous ; they shall inherit the land for ever ; they shall be shoots of my planting , the work of my hands , that I may be glorified . * The small one [shall be ] as a thousand ; the youngest as a strong nation ; I the LORD will hasten it in its time .:
