is
my covenant with them, saith the L
ORD
; My spirit that
is
upon

the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the L
ORD
, from henceforth and
for ever.
CHAPTER 60
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the L
ORD
is risen upon thee.
2
For, behold, the
darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the L
ORD
shall arise upon thee,
and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3
And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the
brightness of thy rising.
4
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.
5
Then thou shalt see, 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.

Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the
L
ORD
.
7
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.
8
Who
are
these
that
fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9
Surely 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 L
ORD
thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because
he hath glorified thee.
10
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.
11
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.
12
For the nation
and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea,
those
nations shall be utterly wasted.
13
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 L
ORD
, The Zion of the Holy
One of Israel.
15
Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through
thee,
I
will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16
Thou shalt also suck the milk
of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the L
ORD
am
thy
Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
17
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.
18
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction
