1 Arise, shine, for your light has come,and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,and thick darkness the peoples;but the Lord will arise upon you,and his glory will be seen upon you.
3 And nations shall come to your light,and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 Lift up your eyes all around, and see;they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar,and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant;your heart shall thrill and exult,because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
6 A multitude of camels shall cover you,the young camels of Midian and Ephah;all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense,and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
