Raise your eyes and look around: they all gather and come to you; your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried on the hip.

Caravans of camels will cover your land- young camels of Midian and Ephah- all of them will come from Sheba. They will carry gold and frankincense and proclaim the praises of the Lord.
