2Because behold, darkness covers the Earth, and thick darkness the peoples, and LORD JEHOVAH shall rise upon you, and his glory shall appear upon you!

3And the nations shall come to your light, and Kings to the light of your rising!

4Lift up your eyes to your surroundings and see all of them assembling and coming to you. Your children will come from a distance, and your daughters shall be nursed in cradles

5Then you shall see and you shall shine and you shall rejoice and your heart shall breathe, because he returned the wealth of the sea to you, and the hosts of the Gentiles will come to you

6Herds of camels shall cover you; the firstborn ones of Midian and of Ephah, all of them from Sheba will come; they shall carry gold and frankincense, and they shall declare the praises of LORD JEHOVAH

7All the flocks of Qedar shall be gathered to you, and the rams of Nebaioth shall serve you, and they shall lift up The Desirable One on my altar, and the house of my praise I shall glorify

8Who are these who fly like clouds and like doves to their windows?

9Because the islands shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish as at the first, to bring your children from a distance, and their silver and their gold with them, to the name of LORD JEHOVAH your God and The Holy One of Israel who has glorified you

10And the sons of foreigners shall build your walls, and their Kings shall serve you, because in my anger I struck you, and in my pleasure I have showed kindness upon you

11Your gates shall be opened constantly by day and by night, and they shall not be shut, and the armies of the Gentiles shall enter to you, and their Kings, when they are led captive

12Because the people and the kingdom that will not serve you shall be destroyed, and nations will be killed by the sword

13The honor of Lebanon shall come to you, the beautiful cypress and the cedar as one, to glorify the place of my holiness, and the place of my feet I shall glorify

14And the children of your oppressors shall come to you, prostrating themselves, and all who anger you will worship at the soles of your feet, and they shall call you, Zion the city of LORD JEHOVAH, The Holy One of Israel

15Instead of what you are, she who is divorced and she who is hated for lack of one passing through her, I shall make you a magnificence to eternity, and a joy to a generation of generations

16And you shall suck the milk of the Gentiles and the breast of Kings you shall suck, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH your Savior and your Liberator, The Mighty One of Yaqob

17Instead of brass I shall bring gold, and instead of iron I shall bring silver and instead of wood brass, and instead of stone, iron, and I shall make Peace your Commander and Righteousness your Ruler

18And evil will not be heard again in your land, nor spoil or ruin in your borders, and they shall call your walls, Salvation, and your gates, Praise

19And there shall not be for you the sun anymore for the light by day, and the light of the moon will not shine for you, because LORD JEHOVAH will be the Light for you to eternity

20And the days of your mourning shall be ended

21And all your people are righteous to eternity; they shall inherit the Earth. The shoot that I planted, the work of my hands, shall be praised

22A little one shall be among thousands, and a lowly one among a strong nation. I, LORD JEHOVAH, shall keep him for his time
