Isa. 60:10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought

I think this is all about our work, our mission?

[b]And the sons of strangers - [/b]They who have been devoted to a foreign and a false religion shall become devoted to the true religion, and engage in the service of the true God.
[b]Shall build up thy walls - [/b]Jerusalem is represented as a ruined city. Her walls had been thrown down, and were lying prostrate. In restoring her to her former magnificence, strangers and foreigners would lend their cheerful aid. The idea is, that they would become tributary to the church, and esteem it a privilege to be engaged in any service, however laborious, that would promote its best interests.
[b]And their kings - [/b](See the notes at Isaiah 49:23).
[b]For in my wrath I smote thee - [/b]Referring to the calamities which he had, from time to time, brought on Jerusalem (see Isaiah 57:17).
[b]But in my favor - [/b](See the notes at Isaiah 54:Cool.
