Isaiah 60:1-3

The Future Glory of Israel

1 b Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and c 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 d And nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your rising.
