Isaiah 60:5–9

Then you shall see and be radiant;

your heart shall thrill and exult,

because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,

the wealth of the nations shall come to you.

A multitude of camels shall cover you,

the young camels of Midian and Ephah;

all those from Sheba shall come.

They shall bring gold and frankincense,

and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you;

the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;

they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,

and I will beautify my beautiful house.

Who are these that fly like a cloud,

and like doves to their windows?

For the coastlands shall hope for me,

the ships of Tarshish first,

to bring your children from afar,

their silver and gold with them,

for the name of the Lord your God,

and for the Holy One of Israel,

because he has made you beautiful.

Then you will look and be radiant,

your heart will throb and swell with joy;

the wealth on the seas will be brought to you,

to you the riches of the nations will come.

Herds of camels will cover your land,

young camels of Midian and Ephah.

And all from Sheba will come,

bearing gold and incense

and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.

All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you,

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;

they will be accepted as offerings on my altar,

and I will adorn my glorious temple.

“Who are these that fly along like clouds,

like doves to their nests?

Surely the islands look to me;

in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,

bringing your children from afar,

with their silver and gold,

to the honor of the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

for he has endowed you with splendor.

Then you will see and be radiant,

and your heart will tremble and rejoice,

because the riches of the sea will become yours

and the wealth of the nations will come to you.

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.

All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you;

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you

and go up on my altar as an acceptable sacrifice.

I will glorify my beautiful house.

Who are these who fly like a cloud,

like doves to their shelters?

Yes, the coasts and islands will wait for me

with the ships of Tarshish in the lead,

to bring your children from far away,

their silver and gold with them,

for the honor of the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

who has glorified you.

Your eyes will shine,

and your heart will thrill with joy,

for merchants from around the world will come to you.

They will bring you the wealth of many lands.

Vast caravans of camels will converge on you,

the camels of Midian and Ephah.

The people of Sheba will bring gold and frankincense

and will come worshiping the Lord.

The flocks of Kedar will be given to you,

and the rams of Nebaioth will be brought for my altars.

I will accept their offerings,

and I will make my Temple glorious.

“And what do I see flying like clouds to Israel,

like doves to their nests?

They are ships from the ends of the earth,

from lands that trust in me,

led by the great ships of Tarshish.

They are bringing the people of Israel home from far away,

carrying their silver and gold.

They will honor the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

for he has filled you with splendor.

Then you shall see

and you shall be radiant;

and your heart shall tremble

and open itself wide,

because the abundance of the sea shall fall upon you;

the wealth of the nations shall come to you.

A multitude of camels shall cover you,

the young male camels of Midian and Ephah.

All those from Sheba shall come;

they shall bring gold and frankincense,

and they shall proclaim the praise of Yahweh.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you;

the rams of Nebaioth shall serve you.

They shall present a sacrifice for favor on my altar,

and I will glorify my honorable house.

Who are these? They fly like a cloud,

and like doves to their coops.

Because the coastlands wait for me,

and the ships of Tarshish are first

to bring your children from afar,

their silver and gold with them,

for the name of Yahweh your God,

and for the holy one of Israel, because he has glorified you.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together,

And thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged;

Because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee,

The forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

The multitude of camels shall cover thee,

The dromedaries of Midian and Ephah;

All they from Sheba shall come:

They shall bring gold and incense;

And they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee,

The rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee:

They shall come up with acceptance on mine altar,

And I will glorify the house of my glory.

Who are these that fly as a cloud,

And as the doves to their windows?

Surely the isles shall wait for me,

And the ships of Tarshish first,

To bring thy sons from far,

Their silver and their gold with them,

Unto the name of the Lord thy God,

And to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
