Isaiah 60:10-13
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. 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
60:12 Indeed, 3 nations or kingdoms that do not serve you will perish;
such nations will be totally destroyed. 4
60:13 The splendor of Lebanon will come to you,
its evergreens, firs, and cypresses together,
to beautify my palace; 5
I will bestow honor on my throne room. 6
