Isaiah 60:19-22

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

19No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.

20Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not wane; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will cease.

21Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever; they are the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.

22The least of you will become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation. I am the LORD; in its time I will accomplish it quickly.
