60"Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. GOD's bright glory has risen for you.H6965H215H216H935H3519H3068H2224 2The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness, But GOD rises on you, his sunrise glory breaks over you.H2822H3680H776H6205H3816H3068H2224H3519H7200 3Nations will come to your light, kings to your sunburst brightness.H1471H1980H216H4428H5051H2225 4Look up! Look around! Watch as they gather, watch as they approach you: Your sons coming from great distances, your daughters carried by their nannies.H5375H5869H5439H7200H6908H935H1121H935H7350H1323H539H6654 5When you see them coming you'll smile—big smiles! Your heart will swell and, yes, burst! All those people returning by sea for the reunion, a rich harvest of exiles gathered in from the nations!H7200H3372H5102H3824H6342H7337H1995H3220H2015H2428H1471H935 6And then streams of camel caravans as far as the eye can see, young camels of nomads in Midian and Ephah, Pouring in from the south from Sheba, loaded with gold and frankincense, preaching the praises of GOD.H8229H1581H3680H1070H4080H5891H7614H935H5375H2091H3828H1319H8416H3068 7And yes, a great roundup of flocks from the nomads in Kedar and Nebaioth, Welcome gifts for worship at my altar as I bathe my glorious Temple in splendor.H6629H6938H6908H352H5032H8334H5927H7522H4196H6286H1004H8597 8"What's that we see in the distance, a cloud on the horizon, like doves darkening the sky?H5774H5645H3123H699 9It's ships from the distant islands, the famous Tarshish ships Returning your children from faraway places, loaded with riches, with silver and gold, And backed by the name of your GOD, The Holy of Israel, showering you with splendor.H339H6960H591H8659H7223H935H1121H7350H3701H2091H8034H3068H430H6918H3478H6286 10Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings assist you in the conduct of worship. When I was angry I hit you hard. It's my desire now to be tender.H1121H5236H1129H2346H4428H8334H7110H5221H7522H7355 11Your Jerusalem gates will always be open —open house day and night!— Receiving deliveries of wealth from all nations, and their kings, the delivery boys!H8179H6605H8548H5462H3119H3915H935H2428H1471H4428H5090 12Any nation or kingdom that doesn't deliver will perish; those nations will be totally wasted.H1471H4467H5647H6H1471H2717H2717 13The rich woods of Lebanon will be delivered —all that cypress and oak and pine— To give a splendid elegance to my Sanctuary, as I make my footstool glorious.H3519H3844H935H1265H8410H8391H3162H6286H4725H4720H4725H7272H3513 14The descendants of your oppressor will come bowing and scraping to you. All who looked down at you in contempt will lick your boots. They'll confer a title on you: City of GOD, Zion of The Holy of Israel.H1121H6031H1980H7817H5006H7812H3709H7272H7121H5892H3068H6726H6918H3478 15Not long ago you were despised refuse— out-of-the-way, unvisited, ignored. But now I've put you on your feet, towering and grand forever, a joy to look at!H8478H5800H8130H5674H7760H5769H1347H4885H1755H1755 16When you suck the milk of nations and the breasts of royalty, You'll know that I, GOD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, Champion of Jacob.H3243H2461H1471H3243H7699H4428H3045H3068H3467H1350H46H3290 17I'll give you only the best—no more hand-me-downs! Gold instead of bronze, silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, iron instead of stones. I'll install Peace to run your country, make Righteousness your boss.H5178H935H2091H1270H935H3701H6086H5178H68H1270H7760H6486H7965H5065H6666 18There'll be no more stories of crime in your land, no more robberies, no more vandalism. You'll name your main street Salvation Way, and install Praise Park at the center of town.H2555H8085H776H7701H7667H1366H7121H2346H3444H8179H8416 19You'll have no more need of the sun by day nor the brightness of the moon at night. GOD will be your eternal light, your God will bathe you in splendor.H8121H216H3119H5051H3394H216H3068H5769H215H430H8597 20Your sun will never go down, your moon will never fade. I will be your eternal light. Your days of grieving are over.H8121H935H3391H622H3068H5769H216H3117H60H7999 21All your people will live right and well, in permanent possession of the land. They're the green shoot that I planted, planted with my own hands to display my glory.H5971H6662H3423H776H5769H5342H4302H4639H3027H6286 22The runt will become a great tribe, the weakling become a strong nation. I am GOD. At the right time I'll make it happen."H6996H505H6810H6099H1471H3068H2363H6256
