Isaïe, Chapters 60-62: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTRE

Isaiah, Chapter 60

“Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.

“For behold, darkness will cover the earth
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the LORD will rise upon you
And His glory will appear upon you.

“Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

⁴

“Lift up your eyes round about and see;
They all gather together, they come to you.
Your sons will come from afar,
And your daughters will be^acarried in the arms.

⁵

“Then you will see and be radiant,
And your heart will^bthrill and rejoice;
Because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The wealth of the nations will come to you.

⁶

“A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and Ephah;
All those from Sheba will come;
They will bring gold and frankincense,
And will bear good news of the praises of the LORD.

⁷

“All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you;
They will go up with acceptance on My altar,
And I shall^cglorify My^dglorious house.

⁸

“Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their^elattices?

⁹

“Surely the coastlands will wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
To bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the LORD your God,
And for the Holy One of Israel because He has^fglorified you.

¹⁰

“Foreigners will build up your walls,
And their kings will minister to you;
For in My wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.

¹¹

“Your gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
With their kings led in procession.

¹²

“For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish,
And the nations will be utterly ruined.

¹³

“The glory of Lebanon will come to you,
The juniper, the box tree and the cypress together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I shall make the place of My feet glorious.

¹⁴

“The sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you,
And all those who despised you will bow themselves at the soles of your feet;
And they will call you the city of the LORD,
The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵

“Whereas you have been forsaken and hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an everlasting pride,
A joy from generation to generation.

¹⁶

“You will also suck the milk of nations
And suck the breast of kings;
Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹⁷

“Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
And instead of iron I will bring silver,
And instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
And I will make peace your administrators
And righteousness your overseers.

¹⁸

“Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise.

¹⁹

“No longer will you have the sun for light by day,
Nor for brightness will the moon give you light;
But you will have the LORD for an everlasting light,
And your God for your^gglory.

²⁰

“Your sun will no longer set,
Nor will your moon wane;
For you will have the LORD for an everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning will be over.

²¹

“Then all your people will be righteous;
They will possess the land forever,
The branch of^hMy planting,
The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.

²²

“The smallest one will become aⁱclan,
And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time.”

Isaiah, Chapter 61

The Spirit of the Lord^aGOD is upon me,
Because the LORD has anointed me
To bring good news to the^bafflicted;
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to captives
And^cfreedom to prisoners;

To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD
And the day of vengeance of our God;
To comfort all who mourn,

To grant those who mourn in Zion,
Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
The oil of gladness instead of mourning,
The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.
So they will be called^doaks of righteousness,
The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

⁴

Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins,
They will raise up the former devastations;
And they will repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

⁵

Strangers will stand and pasture your flocks,
And^eforeigners will be your farmers and your vinedressers.

⁶

But you will be called the priests of the LORD;
You will be spoken of as ministers of our God.
You will eat the wealth of nations,
And in their^friches you will boast.

⁷

Instead of your shame you will have a double portion,
And instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion.
Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land,
Everlasting joy will be theirs.

⁸

For I, the LORD, love justice,
I hate robbery^gin the burnt offering;
And I will faithfully give them their recompense
And make an everlasting covenant with them.

⁹

Then their offspring will be known among the nations,
And their descendants in the midst of the peoples.
All who see them will recognize them
Because they are the offspring whom the LORD has blessed.

¹⁰

I will rejoice greatly in the LORD,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

¹¹

For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes the things sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord^hGOD will cause righteousness and praise
To spring up before all the nations.

Isaiah, Chapter 62

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,
And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet,
Until her righteousness goes forth like brightness,
And her salvation like a torch that is burning.

The nations will see your righteousness,
And all kings your glory;
And you will be called by a new name
Which the mouth of the LORD will designate.

You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD,
And a royal^adiadem in the hand of your God.

⁴

It will no longer be said to you, “^bForsaken,”
Nor to your land will it any longer be said, “^cDesolate”;
But you will be called, “^dMy delight is in her,”
And your land, “^eMarried”;
For the LORD delights in you,
And to Him your land will be married.

⁵

For as a young man marries a virgin,
So your sons will marry you;
And as the^fbridegroom rejoices over the bride,
So your God will rejoice over you.

⁶

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen;
All day and all night they will never keep silent.
You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves;

⁷

And give Him no rest until He establishes
And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

⁸

The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His strong arm,
“I will never again give your grain as food for your enemies;
Nor will^gforeigners drink your new wine for which you have labored.”

⁹

But those who garner it will eat it and praise the LORD;
And those who gather it will drink it in the courts of My sanctuary.

¹⁰

Go through, go through the gates,
Clear the way^hfor the people;
Build up, build up the highway,
Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.

¹¹

Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth,
Say to the daughter of Zion, “Lo, your salvation comes;
Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.”

¹²

And they will call them, “The holy people,
The redeemed of the LORD”;
And you will be called, “Sought out, a city not forsaken.”
