Get up and shine
Arise, shine, because your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen on you. darkness will cover the earth and gross darkness the people, but the LORD will arise on you and his glory will be seen on you. The Gentiles will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Look around and see. They're all gathering and coming to you. Your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried at your side. Then you'll see and flow together, and your heart will fear and be enlarged, because the abundance of the sea will be converted to you and the forces of the Gentiles will come to you. A crowd of camels will cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah. All of them from Sheba will come, bringing gold and incense, and they'll tell out the praises of the LORD. All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you. The rams of Nebaioth will serve you. They'll come up on my altar and be accepted, and I'll bring glory to the house of my glory. Who are these, flying like a cloud, like doves to their windows? The islands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your sons from far off with their silver and gold with them — for the name of the LORD your God and for the Holy One of Israel, because he's glorified you.

The gates always open
Foreigners will build your walls, and their kings will serve you. Because in my anger I struck you, but in my favour I've had mercy on you. Your gates will always stand open. They won't be shut day or night, so people can bring you the wealth of the nations, with their kings brought along too. The nation and kingdom that will not serve you will perish; yes, those nations will be utterly wasted. The glory of Lebanon will come to you — the fir, the pine and the box tree together — to make the place of my sanctuary beautiful. And I'll make the place of my feet glorious. And the sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you, and everyone who despised you will bow down at the soles of your feet. They'll call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Instead of being abandoned and hated, with nobody passing through you, I will make you an everlasting pride, a joy for many generations. You'll also suck the milk of the Gentiles and the breast of kings. Then you'll know that I, the LORD, am your Saviour and your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. For bronze I will bring gold, for iron I will bring silver, for wood bronze, and for stones iron. I will also make your officers peace and your exactors righteousness. Violence will no longer be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders. You'll call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. The sun will no longer be your light by day, nor will the moon give light to you by brightness. The LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God your glory. Your sun will no longer go down, nor will your moon withdraw itself, because the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will be ended. Your people also will all be righteous. They'll inherit the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, so that I may be glorified. A little one will become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I the LORD will hasten it in its time.

They won't be shut day or night, so people can bring you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led along. Because the nation and kingdom that won't serve you will be finished. Those nations will be utterly wrecked. The glory of Lebanon will come to you — the fir, the pine and the box tree together — to make the place of my sanctuary beautiful.

They'll call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Instead of being left behind and hated with nobody passing through, I'll make you an everlasting pride, a joy from one generation to the next. You'll drink the milk of the nations and feed at the breast of kings. And you'll know that I, the Lord, am your saviour and your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I'll bring gold, and instead of iron I'll bring silver, and instead of wood bronze, and instead of stones iron. I'll make peace your officials and righteousness your bosses.

They'll own the land forever — the branch I planted, the work of my hands, to show my glory. The smallest of them will become a thousand, and the least a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hurry it along in its time.
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.

For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
