* 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 #arah #. * 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 #aqob #. * 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 #arah #. * 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 .
