60:1Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

60:2Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

60:2For, 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.

60:8Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

60:8Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

60:9Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

60:9Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish 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, because he hath glorified thee.

60:10And 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.

60:10Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?

60:11Therefore 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.
