Context — Future Glory for Zion
13The glory of Lebanon will come to you— its cypress, elm, and boxwood together— to adorn the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify the place of My feet.
14The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet and call you the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15Whereas you have been forsaken and despised, with no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting pride, a joy from age to age.
16You will drink the milk of nations and nurse at the breasts of royalty; you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 17Instead of bronze I will bring you gold; I will bring silver in place of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. I will appoint peace as your governor and righteousness as your ruler.Cross References

Isaiah 60:15 Summary
Isaiah 60:15 is a promise from God that He will take something that is broken and forsaken and make it into something beautiful and joyful. Just like He promises to restore the city, He can restore our lives and make us a source of joy and pride for Him. This is a reminder that our worth and identity come from God, not from what others think of us (as seen in 1 Samuel 16:7, where God looks at the heart). By trusting in God's power and love, we can experience His joy and pride in our lives, just as He promises in Jeremiah 29:11, where He plans to prosper us and give us hope for a bright future.
Frequently Asked Questions

This phrase indicates that the joy and pride God brings will be eternal, lasting forever, much like the eternal joy and praise found in Psalm 100:5, where God's faithfulness endures to all generations.
How can we apply the promise of Isaiah 60:15 to our own lives?
We can apply this promise by trusting in God's power to transform our lives, just as He promises to transform the forsaken city, and by looking to Him as our source of joy and pride, as encouraged in Nehemiah 8:10, where the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 60:15
Whereas thou hast been forsaken,.... Seemingly forsaken of God; thought to be so by herself, which was matter of complaint; and by her enemies, which to them was matter of joy; the Lord not appearing
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 60:15
Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. Forsaken - (Psalms 78:60-61).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 60:15
Forsaken, both of God, i.e. as to outward appearance; and of her inhabitants, being upon the matter depopulated. Hated; either slighted and neglected, or suffering actual miseries and slaughters: thus was she dealt with, . No man went through thee; thy streets were left desolate. An eternal excellency: the abstract is put here for the concrete, whereby the Hebrews were wont to express the superlative degree; and in this happy estate we find the church, Zechariah 2. per tot. , &c.; which refers to the coming of Christ; and it is said to be eternal, i.e. for a great while; it being an hyperbolical expression, frequent with the Hebrews, who express a long time by eternity. A joy of many generations; the church’ s happiness should be, the rejoicing and comfort of succeeding generations; she would be the matter of their great rejoicing; a metonymy of the object.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 60:15
Isaiah 60:15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.Ver. 15. Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated.] The primitive Christians suffered Odio humani generis, saith Tacitus, through the general hatred conceived against them; and non tam crimen quam nomen puniebatur, saith another, their very name was odious. I will make thee an eternal excellency.] Here in part, but hereafter in all perfection. God so favoured the first orthodox Christian emperors, ut cum illorum pietate, Dei liberalitas certare videretur, That God’ s liberality might seem to strive with their piety. Lib. xv.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 60:15
(15) Whereas thou hast been forsaken . . .—The figure of the daughter of Zion, who had been as a forsaken and slighted wife (comp. Isaiah 62:4), mingles with the literal picture of a city in ruins, abandoned and unvisited.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 60:15
15, 16. Instead of being shunned and hated by all nations, Zion shall become the joy of the whole earth, her wants being abundantly supplied from the best that the nations can bestow.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 60:15
Whereas thou hast been forsaken - Hebrew, ‘Instead of (תחת tachath) thy being forsaken,’ that is, thy subsequent prosperity shall come in the place of thy being formerly forsaken.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 60:15
15. Whereas thou hast been forsaken — This is said under the figure of an abandoned wife; but the meaning would be clearer if read, “Instead of thy being a forsaken and hated holy city, so that no
