Discovery BoxIsaiah 60:1 
Context60:1 “Arise! Shine! For your light arrives!
The splendor 1 of the Lord shines on you!
Isaiah 60:10-14
Context60:10 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. 2
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. 3
60:12 Indeed, 4 nations or kingdoms that do not serve you will perish;
such nations will be totally destroyed. 5
60:13 The splendor of Lebanon will come to you,
its evergreens, firs, and cypresses together,
to beautify my palace; 6
I will bestow honor on my throne room. 7
60:14 The children of your oppressors will come bowing to you;
all who treated you with disrespect will bow down at your feet.
They will call you, ‘The City of the Lord,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.’ 8
