Isaiah 60:21

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified." — Isaiah 60:21 (ASV)

Thy people also shall be all righteous ... — The city is to realize the yet unfulfilled ideal of Psalm 15:0 and Psalm 21:5. Evil will be blotted out, and, therefore, there will be no forfeiture of the inheritance. In "the branch" we have the words that had been prominent in Isaiah 11:1, and which is now extended from the ideal representative of the nation to the whole body of the people.
