60:1 “Arise! Shine! For your light arrives!

The splendor of the Lord shines on you!

2 For, look, darkness covers the earth

and deep darkness covers the nations,

but the Lord shines on you;

his splendor appears over you.

3 Nations come to your light,

kings to your bright light.

4 Look all around you!

They all gather and come to you—

your sons come from far away,

and your daughters are escorted by guardians.

5 Then you will look and smile,

you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride.

For the riches of distant lands will belong to you,

and the wealth of nations will come to you.

6 Camel caravans will cover your roads,

young camels from Midian and Ephah.

All the merchants of Sheba will come,

bringing gold and incense

and singing praises to the Lord.

7 All the sheep of Kedar will be gathered to you;

the rams of Nebaioth will be available to you as sacrifices.

They will go up on my altar acceptably,

and I will bestow honor on my majestic temple.

8 Who are these who float along like a cloud,

who fly like doves to their shelters?

9 Indeed, the coastlands look eagerly for me;

the large ships are in the lead,

bringing your sons from far away,

along with their silver and gold,

to honor the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, for he has bestowed honor on you.
