A Glorified Zion
“aArise, shine, for your blight has come,
And the cglory of Yahweh has risen upon you.
2 For behold, adarkness will cover the earth
And dense gloom the peoples;
But Yahweh will rise upon you,
And His bglory will appear upon you.
3 aNations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 “aLift up your eyes round about and see;
They all gather together; they bcome to you.
Your sons will come from afar,
And your cdaughters will be carried on the nurses’ hip.
5 Then you will see and be aradiant,
And your heart will tremble and be large with joy;
Because the babundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The cwealth of the nations will come to you.
6 A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and aEphah;
All those from bSheba will come;
They will bring cgold and frankincense,
And will dbear good news of the praises of Yahweh.
7 All the flocks of aKedar will be gathered together to you;
The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you;
They will go up with acceptance on My baltar,
And I shall cadorn My glorious house with beautiful glory.
8 aWho are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their lattices?
