Isaiah 60:9Easy To Read VersionThe faraway lands are waiting for me.\par The great cargo ships are ready to sail.\par Those ships are ready to bring\par your children from faraway lands.\par They will bring silver and gold with them\par to honor the Lord your God,\par the Holy One of Israel.\par The Lord does wonderful things for you.\par See the chapter |
At that time, my Master (God) will again reach out and take his people that are left. This will be the second time God has done this. \{(These are God’s people that are left in countries like Assyria, North Egypt, South Egypt, Ethiopia, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath, and all the faraway countries around the world.)
The Lord says,\par “Look, I will give you peace.\par This peace will come flowing to you\par like a great river.\par Wealth from all the nations on earth\par will come flowing to you.\par That wealth will come like a flood.\par \{You will be like little babies\}.\par You will drink that ‘milk’ (wealth)\par I will pick you up,\par hold you in my arms,\par and bounce you on my knees.\par
“Daughter of Zion, {\cf2\super [57]} \par get up and crush those people!\par \{I will make you very strong.\}\par It will be like you have horns of iron,\par and hooves {\cf2\super [58]} of bronze.\par You will beat many people into small pieces.\par You will give their wealth to the Lord.\par You will give their treasure\par
