Isaiah 60:1

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

2 For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear over you.

3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
