60:3 Nations come to your light,
kings to your bright light.
60:10 Foreigners will rebuild your walls;
their kings will serve you.
Even though I struck you down in my anger,
I will restore my favor and have compassion on you. 1
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. 2
60:16 You will drink the milk of nations;
you will nurse at the breasts of kings. 3
Then you will recognize that I, the Lord, am your deliverer,
your protector, 4 the powerful ruler of Jacob. 5
