The Future Glory of Israel
aArise, shine, for your light has come,
and bthe glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will be seen upon you.
3 aAnd nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 aLift up your eyes all around, and see;
they all gather together, they come to you;
byour sons shall come from afar,
and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
5 Then you shall see and abe radiant;
your heart shall thrill and exult,
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
bthe wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,
the young camels of aMidian and bEphah;
all those from cSheba shall come.
dThey shall bring gold and frankincense,
and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of aKedar shall be gathered to you;
the rams of bNebaioth shall minister to you;
cthey shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
dand I will beautify my beautiful house.
