Isaiah 60:12-22

The nation or kingdom that refuses to serve you will perish and be utterly ruined. Lebanon’s glory will be yours. The cypress, fir, and pine will come to you to beautify the site of my holy place. And I will glorify the place where I rest my feet. The descendants of your oppressors will come bowing low before you, and all who hated you will bow down at your feet. They will call you The Beautiful City of YAHWEH, Glorious Zion of the Holy One of Israel.” “Although once you were rejected and despised, undesirable for anyone to pass through you, I will make you majestic forever, a source of joy for every generation. You will guzzle the milk of nations and suckle at the breast of kings. You will know me intimately that I am YAHWEH, your Savior, for I am the Mighty Hero who rules over Jacob’s tribes, your Kinsman-Redeemer!” “I will replace your copper with gold, your iron with silver, your wood with copper, and your stone with iron. I will install peace and prosperity as your government and righteousness as your overseer. Threats of violence will no longer be heard in your land, nor will destruction and ruin be found within your borders. You will name your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.” “The sun will no longer be needed to brighten the day, nor the moon to shine at night, for YAHWEH will be your unfailing light; your God will be your glory! There will be no more sunsets or new moons, for YAHWEH will be your everlasting light and your days of sadness will be over. All your people will be righteous and will permanently possess the land. I planted them there as a tender sapling, the work of my own hands to display my glory. I will multiply the least of you into a thousand and the weakest one into a mighty nation. I am YAHWEH, and when the right time comes, I will accomplish it swiftly!”
