Isaiah 14:1-2
The Restoration of Jacob
1 aFor the Lord will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and bwill set them in their own land, and csojourners will join them and will attach themselves to the house of Jacob. 2And dthe peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will possess them in the Lord’s land eas male and female slaves. ▼▼Or servants
gThey will take captive those who were their captors, hand rule over those who oppressed them. Isaiah 60:10-14
10 iForeigners shall build up your walls,and jtheir kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I struck you,
but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 kYour gates shall be open continually;
day and night they shall not be shut,
lthat people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
with their kings led in procession.
12 mFor the nation and kingdom
that will not serve you shall perish;
those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
13 nThe glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
the cypress, the plane, and othe pine,
to beautify the place of my sanctuary,
and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14 pThe sons of those who afflicted you
shall come bending low to you,
qand all who despised you
shall bow down at your feet;
rthey shall call you the City of the Lord,
the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Ephesians 2:12-20
12remember sthat you were at that time separated from Christ, talienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to uthe covenants of promise, vhaving no hope and without God in the world. 13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were wfar off have been brought near xby the blood of Christ. 14For yhe himself is our peace, zwho has made us both one and has broken down aain his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in abordinances, that he might create in himself one acnew man in place of the two, so making peace, 16and might adreconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17And he came and aepreached peace to you who were affar off and peace to those who were agnear. 18For ahthrough him we both have aiaccess in ajone Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer akstrangers and aliens, ▼▼Or sojourners
but you are amfellow citizens with the saints and anmembers of the household of God, 20 aobuilt on the foundation of the apapostles and prophets, aqChrist Jesus himself being arthe cornerstone,
