THE HONOR OF SIYON
Rise! Enlighten! For your light comes and the honor of Yah Veh rises on you: 2 for behold, the darkness covers the earth and dripping darkness the nation: and Yah Veh rises on you and his honor is seen on you. 3 And the goyim come to your light and sovereigns to the brilliance of your rising. 4 Lift your eyes all round, and see: they all gather; they come to you: your sons come from afar and your daughters nurture at your side. 5 Then you awe and flow together; and your heart fears and enlarges: because the abundance of the sea turns to you; the valued of the goyim come to you: 6 the throngs of camels cover you - the dromedaries of Midyan and Ephah; all they of Sheba come: they bear gold and incense and they evangelize the halals of Yah Veh: 7 all the flocks of Qedar gather to you; the rams of Nebayoth minister to you: they ascend with pleasure on my sacrifice altar and I adorn the house of my adornment. 8 Who are these, flying as a cloud and as the doves to their windows? 9 Surely the islands await me; and the ships of Tarshish first to bring your sons from afar - their silver and their gold with them to the name of Yah Veh your Elohim, and to the Holy One of Yisra El, because he adorns you. 10 And the sons of strangers build your walls and their sovereigns minister to you: for in my rage I smote you and in my pleasure I mercied you: 11 and your portals open continually - shut neither day nor night; to bring you the forces of the goyim, even their sovereigns are driven. 12 For the goyim and sovereigndom who serve you not, destruct; yes, those goyim are utterly parched. 13 The honor of Lebanon comes to you - the fir tree, the oak tree, and the cedar together to adorn the place of my holies; and I honor the place of my feet. 14 And the sons of them who humbled you come prostrating to you; and all they who scorn you prostrate at the soles of your feet; and they call you, The city of Yah Veh - The Siyon of the Holy One of Yisra El. 15 Instead of being forsaken and hated so that no man passes through, I set you an eternal pomp - a joy of generation and generation: 16 and you suck the milk of the goyim and suck the breast of sovereigns: and you know I - Yah Veh - your Saviour and your Redeemer - the Almighty One of Yaaqov. 17 For copper, I bring gold; and for iron, I bring silver; and for timber, copper; and for stones, iron: and I set your overseers, shalom; and your exactors, justness. 18 Violence is heard no more in your land or ravage or breaking within your borders; and you call your walls, Salvation, and your portals, Halal. 19 Neither becomes the sun any more your light by day; nor for brilliance, the moon lighten you: and Yah Veh becomes your eternal light and your Elohim your adornment. 20 Neither your sun goes down any more; nor is your moon gathered: for Yah Veh becomes your eternal light; and the days of your mourning shalam; 21 and all your people just - successors of the land eternally - the branch of my planting; the work of my hands; to be adorned. 22 A little becomes a thousand and a little a mighty goyim: I Yah Veh hasten it in his time.
