1. “Jerusalem, get up and shine! Your Light is coming! The Glory of the Lord will shine on you.
2. Darkness now covers the earth, and the people are in darkness. But the Lord will shine on you, and his Glory will appear over you.
3. Then the nations will come to your light. Kings will come to your bright sunrise.
4. Look around you! See all the people gathering around. Those are your sons coming from far away, and your daughters are there beside them.
5. “At that time you will see your people, and your faces will shine with happiness. First, you will be afraid, but then you will be excited. All the riches from across the seas will be set before you. The riches of the nations will come to you.
6. Herds of camels from Midian and Ephah will cross your land. Long lines of camels will come from Sheba. They will bring gold and incense. People will sing praises to the Lord.
7. People will collect all the sheep from Kedar and give them to you. They will bring you rams from Nebaioth. You will offer those animals on my altar, and I will accept them. I will make my wonderful Temple even more beautiful.
