1 “Jerusalem, get up and shine, because your light has come,and the glory of the Lord shines on you.
2 Darkness now covers the earth;deep darkness covers her people.But the Lord shines on you,and people see his glory around you.
3 Nations will come to your light;kings will come to the brightness of your sunrise.
4 “Look around you.People are gathering and coming to you.Your sons are coming from far away,and your daughters are coming with them.
5 When you see them, you will shine with happiness;you will be excited and full of joy,because the wealth of the nations across the seas will be given to you;the riches of the nations will come to you.
6 Herds of camels will cover your land,young camels from Midian and Ephah.People will come from Shebabringing gold and incense,and they will sing praises to the Lord.
7 All the sheep from Kedar will be given to you;the sheep from Nebaioth will be brought to you.They will be pleasing sacrifices on my altar,and I will make my beautiful Temple more beautiful.
