1Arise, shine; for thy light is come,
2For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
3And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,
4Lift up thine eyes round about, and see:
5Then thou shalt see, and flow together,
6The multitude of camels shall cover thee,
7All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee,
8Who are these that fly as a cloud,
9Surely the isles shall wait for me,
10And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls,
11Therefore thy gates shall be open continually;
12For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish;
13The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee,
14The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee;
15Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated,
16Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles,
17For brass I will bring gold,
18Violence shall no more be heard in thy land,
19The sun shall be no more thy light by day;
20Thy sun shall no more go down;
21Thy people also shall be all righteous:
22A little one shall become a thousand,
