New Testament

Isaiah 60:1-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Arise! Shine! Your light has come;the Lord’s glory has shone upon you.

2. Though darkness covers the earthand gloom the nations,the Lord will shine upon you;God’s glory will appear over you.

3. Nations will come to your lightand kings to your dawning radiance.

4. Lift up your eyes and look all around:they are all gathered; they have come to you.Your sons will come from far away,and your daughters on caregivers’ hips.

5. Then you will see and be radiant;your heart will tremble and open wide,because the sea’s abundance will be turned over to you;the nations’ wealth will come to you.

6. Countless camels will cover your land,young camels from Midian and Ephah.They will all come from Sheba,carrying gold and incense,proclaiming the Lord’s praises.

7. All Kedar’s sheep will be gathered for you;rams from Nebaioth will be your offerings;they will be accepted on my altar,and I will glorify my splendid house.

8. Who are these who fly like a cloud,like doves to their shelters?

9. I’m the hope of the coastlands.Ships from Tarshish are in the leadto bring your children from afar,their silver and gold with themfor the name of the Lord your Godand for the holy one of Israel, who has glorified you.
