In the last days, Israel shall rise again as a mighty nation—Gentile peoples shall join with and serve her—Zion shall be established—Finally, they shall dwell in celestial splendor.

 ^aARISE^•, shine; for thy ^blight is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

 For, behold, the ^adarkness^• shall cover the earth, and gross ^bdarkness the people: but the LORD shall ^carise^• upon thee, and his ^dglory shall be seen upon thee.

 And the ^aGentiles shall come to thy ^blight, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy ^asons^• shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

 Then thou shalt see, and ^aflow^• together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the ^babundance^• of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the ^cforces^• of the ^dGentiles^• shall come unto thee.

 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring ^agold^• and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

 All the flocks of ^aKedar^• shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with ^bacceptance^• on mine ^caltar^•, and I will glorify the house of my ^dglory^•.

 Who are ^athese^• that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

 Surely the ^aisles^• shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to ^bbring^• thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

 And the ^asons^• of strangers shall ^bbuild^• up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my ^cwrath^• I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

 Therefore thy ^agates^• shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the ^bforces^• of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

 For the ^anation^• and ^bkingdom that will not serve thee shall ^cperish^•; yea, those ^dnations^• shall be utterly wasted.

 The glory of ^aLebanon^• shall come unto thee, the ^bfir^• tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to ^cbeautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my ^dfeet^• glorious.

 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall ^abow^• themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

 Whereas thou hast been ^aforsaken^• and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

 Thou shalt also suck the ^amilk^• of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of ^bkings^•: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy ^cSaviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.

 ^aViolence^• shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy ^bwalls^• Salvation, and thy gates ^cPraise^•.

 The ^asun^• shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting ^blight, and thy God thy glory.

 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine ^aeverlasting light, and the days of thy ^bmourning shall be ended.

 Thy people also shall be all ^arighteous: they shall inherit the ^bland^• for ^cever^•, the ^dbranch of my planting, the ^ework^• of my hands, that I may be glorified.

 A ^alittle^• one shall become a thousand, and a small one a ^bstrong^• nation: I the LORD will hasten it in ^chis^• time.
