Isaiah 60:10-14

Zion Arises as the LORD’s Glory Draws the Nations

From the command for Zion to arise and shine, to the nations and kings coming to her light, to the return of sons and daughters, to wealth and worship arriving from the nations, to foreign service and royal tribute, to reversal of abandonment and oppression, to the transformation of Zion’s materials and government, to the LORD as everlasting light and the righteous people as his glorious planting.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Although I struck you in anger, yet in favor I will show you mercy.

11Your gates will always stand open; they will never be shut, day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you, with their kings being led in procession.

12For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly destroyed.

13The glory of Lebanon will come to you—its cypress, elm, and boxwood together—to adorn the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify the place of My feet.

14The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet and call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
