¹⁸I know^r their thoughts and their deeds. I am coming^s to gather the people of all the nations. When they come together, they will see what my power can do ¹⁹and will know that I am the one who punishes them.

“But I will spare some of them and send them to the nations and the distant lands that have not heard of my fame or seen my greatness and power: to Spain, Libya,^t and Lydia, with its skilled archers, and to Tubal and Greece. Among these nations they will proclaim my greatness. ²⁰They will bring back all your fellow-Israelites from the nations as a gift to me. They will bring them to my sacred hill^u in Jerusalem on horses, mules, and camels, and in chariots and wagons, just as Israelites bring grain offerings to the Temple in ritually clean containers. ²¹I will make some of them priests and Levites.

²²^*“Just as the new earth and the new heavens will endure by my power, so your descendants and your name will endure. ²³On every New Moon Festival and every Sabbath, people of every nation will come to worship me here in Jerusalem,” says the Lord.
