Isaiah 60:15-22

International Standard Version

¹⁷ “Instead of bronze, I’ll bring gold,
    and instead of iron, I’ll bring silver;
instead of wood, bronze,
    and instead of stones, iron.
I’ll appoint peace as your supervisor
    and righteousness as your taskmaster.
¹⁸ Then^[a] violence will no longer be heard in your land,
    nor devastation or destruction within your borders;
but you’ll call your walls ‘Salvation’,
    and your gates ‘Praise’.

¹⁹ “The sun will no longer be your light by day,
    nor for brightness will the moon shine on you by night^[b]—
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,^[c]
    and your God will be your glory.
²⁰ Your sun won’t^[d] set,
    nor will your moon withdraw itself—
for the Lord will be your everlasting light,
    and your days of mourning will end.
²¹ Then your people will all be righteous;
    They’ll possess the land forever.
They are the shoot^[e] that the Lord planted,^[f]
    the works^[g] of his hands,
        so that I might be glorified.
²² The least of them will become a thousand,
    and the smallest one a mighty nation.

“I am the Lord;
    When the time is right,^[h] I will do this swiftly.”
