Vinsæl biblíuvers úr Isaiah 60

Deildu

Arise, shine, for your light has come,  and the glory of the  LORD  shines over you. 

Nations will come to your light, and kings to your shining brightness.

For look, darkness will cover the earth, and total darkness the peoples; but the LORD will shine over you, and his glory will appear over you.

The least will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; I will accomplish it quickly in its time.

The sun will no longer be your light by day, and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you. The LORD will be your everlasting light,  and your God will be your splendor.

Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not fade; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will be over.

Then you will see and be radiant,  and your heart will tremble and rejoice,  because the riches of the sea will become yours and the wealth of the nations will come to you.

Raise your eyes and look around: they all gather and come to you; your sons will come from far away, and your daughters on the hips of nursing mothers.

All your people will be righteous;  they will possess the land forever;  they are the branch I planted, the work of my   hands, so that I may be glorified.

Violence will never again be heard of in your land;  devastation and destruction will be gone from your borders. You will call your walls Salvation  and your city gates Praise.

Your city gates will always be open; they will never be shut day or night so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you,  with their kings being led in procession.

Caravans of camels will cover your land   — young camels of Midian and Ephah — all of them will come from Sheba.  They will carry gold and frankincense  and proclaim the praises of the  LORD.

Foreigners will rebuild your walls,  and their kings will serve you.  Although I struck you in my wrath, yet I will show mercy to you with my favor.

Instead of your being deserted and hated, with no one passing through,  I will make you an object of eternal pride,  a joy from age to age.

You will nurse on the milk of nations, and nurse at the breast of kings;  you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior  and Redeemer,  the Mighty One of Jacob.
