Contemporary English Version
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.
Jerusalem Will Be Rebuilt
The Lord said:
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.
11 (A) Your gates will be open
day and night
to let the rulers of nations
lead their people to you
with all their treasures.

in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,[a](B)

the Holy One(F) of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.(G)

and their kings(I) will serve you.

they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations(M)—
