Isaiah 60:4

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms." — Isaiah 60:4 (ASV)

Lift up your eyes ... —Repeated from Isaiah 49:18.

Your daughters shall be nursed at your side ... —As in Isaiah 66:12, the words point to the Eastern custom of carrying young children on the hip of their mother, with their arms clasped round her waist.
