Yesaya 14:32

14:32 How will they respond to the messengers of this nation? ¹ 

Indeed, the Lord has made Zion secure;

the oppressed among his people will find safety in her.

Yesaya 60:1

Zion’s Future Splendor

60:1 “Arise! Shine! For your light arrives!

The splendor ²  of the Lord shines on you!

Yesaya 60:10-14

60:10 Foreigners will rebuild your walls;

their kings will serve you.

Even though I struck you down in my anger,

I will restore my favor and have compassion on you. ³ 

60:11 Your gates will remain open at all times;

they will not be shut during the day or at night,

so that the wealth of nations may be delivered,

with their kings leading the way. ⁴ 

60:12 Indeed, ⁵  nations or kingdoms that do not serve you will perish;

such nations will be totally destroyed. ⁶ 

60:13 The splendor of Lebanon will come to you,

its evergreens, firs, and cypresses together,

to beautify my palace; ⁷ 

I will bestow honor on my throne room. ⁸ 

60:14 The children of your oppressors will come bowing to you;

all who treated you with disrespect will bow down at your feet.

They will call you, ‘The City of the Lord,

Zion of the Holy One of Israel.’ ⁹
