1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 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. [Rev 21:11] 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, [Rev 21:24] 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, [Rev 21:1] the forces of the
Gentiles shall come unto thee. [Rev 21:26] 6 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. 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. [Rev 21:7] 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, [Rev 21:26] unto the name of the LORD 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: [Rev 21:24] 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; [Rev 21:25] 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. [Rev 21:8] 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. 14 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, [Rev 21:10] The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15 Whereas thou has 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 LORD am thy Saviour and thy
Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. [Rev 21:3] 17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: [Rev 21:18] I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. 18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; [Rev 21:27] but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, [Rev 21:24] and thy gates Praise. [Rev 21:21] 19 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, [Rev 21:25] and thy God thy glory. 20 Thy
sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: [Rev 21:23] for
the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, [Rev
21:23] and the days of thy mourning
shall be ended. [Rev 21:4] 21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: [Rev 21:27] they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. |
