Chapter 60 of Isaiah—Revised Standard Version (RSV)

  1. ¶ Arise, shine; for your light has come,
      and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
  2. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth,
      and thick darkness the peoples;
    but the LORD will arise upon you,
      and his glory will be seen upon you.
  3. And nations shall come to your light,
      and kings to the brightness of your rising.
  4. ¶ Lift up your eyes round about, and see;
      they all gather together, they come to you;
    your sons shall come from far,
      and your daughters shall be carried in the arms.
  5. Then you shall see and be radiant,
      your heart shall thrill and rejoice;[a]
    because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
      the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
  6. A multitude of camels shall cover you,
      the young camels of Mid′ian and Ephah;
      all those from Sheba shall come.
    They shall bring gold and frankincense,
      and shall proclaim the praise of the LORD.
  7. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you,
      the rams of Nebai′oth shall minister to you;
    they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
      and I will glorify my glorious house.
  8. ¶ Who are these that fly like a cloud,
      and like doves to their windows?
  9. For the coastlands shall wait for me,
      the ships of Tarshish first,
    to bring your sons from far,
      their silver and gold with them,
    for the name of the LORD your God,
      and for the Holy One of Israel,
      because he has glorified you.
  10. ¶ Foreigners shall build up your walls,
      and their kings shall minister to you;
    for in my wrath I smote you,
      but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
  11. Your gates shall be open continually;
      day and night they shall not be shut;
    that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
      with their kings led in procession.
  12. For the nation and kingdom
      that will not serve you shall perish;
      those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
  13. The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
      the cypress, the plane, and the pine,
    to beautify the place of my sanctuary;
      and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
  14. The sons of those who oppressed you
      shall come bending low to you;
    and all who despised you
      shall bow down at your feet;
    they shall call you the City of the LORD,
      the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
  15. ¶ Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
      with no one passing through,
    I will make you majestic for ever,
      a joy from age to age.
  16. You shall suck the milk of nations,
      you shall suck the breast of kings;
    and you shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior
      and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
  17. ¶ Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
      and instead of iron I will bring silver;
    instead of wood, bronze,
      instead of stones, iron.
    I will make your overseers peace
      and your taskmasters righteousness.
  18. Violence shall no more be heard in your land,
      devastation or destruction within your borders;
    you shall call your walls Salvation,
      and your gates Praise.
  19. ¶ The sun shall be no more
      your light by day,
    nor for brightness shall the moon
      give light to you by night;[b]
    but the LORD will be your everlasting light,
      and your God will be your glory.
  20. Your sun shall no more go down,
      nor your moon withdraw itself;
    for the LORD will be your everlasting light,
      and your days of mourning shall be ended.
  21. Your people shall all be righteous;
      they shall possess the land for ever,
    the shoot of my planting, the work of my hands,
      that I might be glorified.
  22. The least one shall become a clan,
      and the smallest one a mighty nation;
    I am the LORD;
      in its time I will hasten it.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
