Isaiah 60:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ On those distant islands
your people are waiting
    for me, the Lord.^[a]
Seagoing ships^[b] lead the way
to bring them home
    with their silver and gold.
I, the holy Lord God of Israel,
do this to honor your people,
    so they will honor me.

¹⁰ Jerusalem, your city walls
    will be rebuilt by foreigners;
their rulers will become
    your slaves.
I punished you in my anger;
now I will be kind
    and treat you with mercy.
