Arise, shine; forthy lightis come, and the gloryof the LORDis risenuponthee. For, behold, the darknessshall coverthe earth, and gross darknessthe people: but the LORDshall ariseuponthee, and his gloryshall be seenuponthee. And the Gentilesshall cometo thy light, and kingsto the brightnessof thy rising. Lift upthine eyesround about, and see: allthey gather themselves together, they cometo thee: thy sonsshall comefrom far, and thy daughtersshall be nursedat thy side. Thenthou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heartshall fear, and be enlarged; becausethe abundanceof the seashall be converteduntothee, the forcesof the Gentilesshall comeunto thee. The multitudeof camelsshall coverthee, the dromedariesof Midianand Ephah; allthey from Shebashall come: they shall bringgoldand incense; and they shall show forththe praisesof the LORD. Allthe flocksof Kedarshall be gathered togetherunto thee, the ramsof Nebaiothshall ministerunto thee: they shall come upwithacceptanceon mine altar, and I will glorifythe houseof my glory. Who are these that flyas a cloud, and as the dovestotheir windows? Surelythe islesshall waitfor me, and the shipsof Tarshishfirst, to bringthy sonsfrom far, their silverand their goldwiththem, unto the nameof the LORDthy God, and to the Holy Oneof Israel, becausehe hath glorifiedthee. And the sonsof strangersshall build upthy walls, and their kingsshall ministerunto thee: forin my wrathI smotethee, but in my favorhave I had mercyon thee. Therefore thy gatesshall be opencontinually; they shall notbe shutdaynor night; that men may bringuntothee the forcesof the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. Forthe nationand kingdomthatwill notservethee shall perish; yea, those nationsshall be utterly wasted. The gloryof Lebanonshall comeuntothee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the boxtogether, to beautifythe placeof my sanctuary; and I will make the placeof my feetglorious. The sonsalso of them that afflictedthee shall comebendinguntothee; and allthey that despisedthee shall bow themselves downatthe solesof thy feet; and they shall callthee, The cityof the LORD, The Zionof the Holy Oneof Israel. Whereasthou hast beenforsakenand hated, so that no manwent through thee , I will makethee an eternalexcellency, a joyof many generations. Thou shalt also suckthe milkof the Gentiles, and shalt suckthe breastof kings: and thou shalt knowthatIthe LORD am thy Saviorand thy Redeemer, the mighty Oneof Jacob. ForbrassI will bringgold, and forironI will bringsilver, and forwoodbrass, and forstonesiron: I will also makethy officerspeace, and thine exactorsrighteousness. Violenceshall nomorebe heardin thy land, wastingnor destructionwithin thy borders; but thou shalt callthy wallsSalvation, and thy gatesPraise. The sunshall benomorethy lightby day; neitherfor brightnessshall the moongive lightunto thee: but the LORDshall beunto thee an everlastinglight, and thy Godthy glory. Thy sunshall nomorego down; neithershall thy moonwithdraw itself: forthe LORDshall bethine everlastinglight, and the daysof thy mourningshall be ended. Thy peoplealso shall be allrighteous: they shall inheritthe landforever, the branchof my planting, the workof my hands, that I may be glorified. A little oneshall becomea thousand, and a small onea strongnation: Ithe LORDwill hastenit in his time.
