60:11 Your gates will remain open at all times;
they will not be shut during the day or at night,
so that the wealth of nations may be delivered,
with their kings leading the way. 1

you will nurse at the breasts of kings. 2
Then you will recognize that I, the Lord, am your deliverer,
your protector, 3 the powerful ruler of Jacob. 4
