2  ^lIt shall come to pass in the latter days

that ^mthe mountain of the house of the Lord

shall be established as the highest of the mountains,

and shall be lifted up above the hills;

and ⁿall the nations shall flow to it,

3  and ^omany peoples shall come, and say:

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the house of the God of Jacob,

that he may teach us his ways

and that we may walk in his paths.”

For ^pout of Zion shall go forth the law,¹

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

6  he says:

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant

to raise up the tribes of Jacob

and to bring back the preserved of Israel;

^tI will make you ^uas a light for the nations,

that ^vmy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

3  Let not ^ythe foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,

“The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;

and let not the eunuch say,

“Behold, I am ^za dry tree.”

4  For thus says the Lord:

“To the eunuchs ^xwho keep my Sabbaths,

who choose the things that please me

and hold fast my covenant,

5  ^aI will give in my house and within my walls

a ^bmonument and a name

better than sons and daughters;

^cI will give them an everlasting name

that shall not be cut off.

6  “And ^ythe foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,

to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,

and to be his servants,

everyone ^xwho keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,

and holds fast my covenant—

7  ^dthese I will bring to ^emy holy mountain,

and make them joyful in my house of prayer;

^ftheir burnt offerings and their sacrifices

will be accepted on my altar;

for ^gmy house shall be called a house of prayer

for all peoples.”

8  The Lord God,

^hwho gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,

ⁱ“I will gather yet others to him

besides those already gathered.”

1  ^bArise, shine, for your light has come,

and ^cthe 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  ^dAnd nations shall come to your light,

and kings to the brightness of your rising.

4  ^eLift up your eyes all around, and see;

they all gather together, they come to you;

^fyour sons shall come from afar,

and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.

5  Then you shall see and ^gbe radiant;

your heart shall thrill and exult,¹

because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,

^hthe wealth of the nations shall come to you.

6  A multitude of camels shall cover you,

the young camels of ⁱMidian and ^jEphah;

all those from ^kSheba shall come.

^lThey shall bring gold and frankincense,

and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.

7  All the flocks of ^mKedar shall be gathered to you;

the rams of ⁿNebaioth shall minister to you;

^othey shall come up with acceptance on my altar,

^pand I will beautify my beautiful house.

8  Who are these that fly like a cloud,

and ^qlike doves to their windows?

9  For ^rthe coastlands shall hope for me,

^sthe ships of Tarshish first,

^tto bring your children from afar,

their silver and gold with them,

for the name of the Lord your God,

and for the Holy One of Israel,

because ^uhe has made you beautiful.
