Isaiah 60:10

Read in context

Isaiah 60:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 Who are these who fly like clouds, like doves to their shelters?

9 Surely the islands will wait for Me, with the ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your children from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for He has glorified you.

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

11 Your 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.

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