## Isaiah 60:15-20 in Context (Verses 12–22 KJV)
 
 [12 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/12) For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, *those* nations shall be utterly wasted.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/13) The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/14) The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/15) Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through *thee*, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/16) Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD *am* thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/17) For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/18) Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/19) The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/20) Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/21) Thy people also *shall be* all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/isaiah/60/22) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
 
[Isaiah 59](/kjv/isaiah/59) [Isaiah 61](/kjv/isaiah/61)
