CHAPTER 60

Isaiah 60:1-22 1. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

1. Surge, splendida esto; quia venit splendor tuus, et gloria Iehovae super to orta est.

2. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

2. Quia ecce tenebrae operient terrain, et caligo populos; super to autem orietur Iehova, et gloria ejus super to videbitur.

3. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

3. Et ambulabunt gentes ad splendorem tuum, et reges ad fulgorem ortus tui.

4. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

4. Leva in circuitu oculos tuos, et vide. Omnes isti congregati sunt ut veniant ad to; filii tui longe venient, filiae tuae ad latus nutrientur.

5. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

5. Tunc videbis, st splendesces, (vel, difflues,) expavesces ac dilatabitur cor tuum; quia ad to conversa fuerit copia maris, (vel, multitudo maris) opes gentium (vel, robur gentium) ad to venerint.

6. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian
