3
(A)Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
4
(B)Lift up your eyes round about and see;
They all gather together, they (C)come to you.
Your sons will come from afar,
And your (D)daughters will be (a)carried in the arms.
5
“Then you will see and be (E)radiant,
And your heart will (b)thrill and rejoice;
Because the (F)abundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The (G)wealth of the nations will come to you.
6
“A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and (H)Ephah;
All those from (I)Sheba will come;
They will bring (J)gold and frankincense,
And will (K)bear good news of the praises of the Lord.
7
“All the flocks of (L)Kedar will be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will minister to you;
They will go up with acceptance on My (M)altar,
And I shall (c)(N)glorify My (d)glorious house.
8
(O)Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their (e)lattices?
9
“Surely the (P)coastlands will wait for Me;
And the (Q)ships of Tarshish will come first,
To (R)bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
And for the Holy One of Israel because He has (f)(S)glorified you.
10
(T)Foreigners will build up your walls,
And their (U)kings will minister to you;
For in My (V)wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.
11
“Your (W)gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that men may (X)bring to you the wealth of the nations,
With (Y)their kings led in procession.
