1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come,and the Lord’s glory has risen on you.
2 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.
3 Nations will come to your light,and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 “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.
5 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.
6 A multitude of camels will cover you,the dromedaries of Midian and Efah.All from Sheba will come.They will bring gold and frankincense,and will proclaim the praises of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered together to you.The rams of Nebaioth will serve you.They will be accepted as offerings on my altar;and I will beautify my glorious house.
