Isaiah 60:2 in context

Isaiah 60:1–5

“Arise, shine; for your light has come,

and the LORD’s glory has risen on you!

Selected verse

For behold, darkness will cover the earth,

and thick darkness the peoples;

but the LORD will arise on you,

and his glory shall be seen on you.

Nations will come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your rising.

“Lift up your eyes all around, and see:

they all gather themselves together.

They come to you.

Your sons will come from far away,

and your daughters will be carried in arms.

Then you shall see and be radiant,

and your heart will thrill and be enlarged;

because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you.

The wealth of the nations will come to you.
