Isaiah 60:10 Context
8Who are these that flie as a cloude, and as the doues to their windowes? 9Surely the yles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sonnes from farre, their siluer and their gold with them, vnto the Name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 10And the sonnes of strangers shall build vp thy walles, and their kings shal minister vnto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my fauour haue I had mercie on thee. 11Therefore thy gates shal be open continually, they shall not bee shut day nor night, that men may bring vnto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. 12For the nation and kingdome that will not serue thee, shall perish, yea those nations shall be vtterly wasted.
