3. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 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. 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. 6. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 7. All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 8. Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? 9. Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 10. And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 11. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought.

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 60:3

Theological / Devotional

The Gentiles shall come. The reflection of the divine character through Israel, together with the manifest blessing of Heaven upon them as a nation, was to have attracted the Gentiles and convinced them of the superiority of the worship and service of Jehovah (see pp. 28-30; cf. ch. 49:6, 22). In the providence of God this promise is to be fulfilled to the church in our day (see pp. 35, 36; see on v. 1).

And kings. The glory of God revealed in His people and church will attract not only the humble but the great men of earth. Even kings will be drawn to the light streaming forth from Zion (see chs. 49:23; 52:15).
