Isaiah 60:4–11

⁴Lift up your eyes and look around;

they all gather together; they come to you;

your sons shall come from far away,

and your daughters shall be carried in their nurses’ arms.^*

⁵Then you shall see and be radiant;

your heart shall thrill and rejoice,^d

because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you;

the wealth of the nations shall come to you.^*

⁶A 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 proclaim the praise of the Lord.^*

⁷All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered to you;

the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;

they shall be acceptable on my altar,^e

and I will glorify my glorious house.^*

⁸Who are these that fly like a cloud

and like doves to their windows?

⁹For the coastlands shall wait for me,

the ships of Tarshish first,

to bring your children from far away,

their silver and gold with them,

for the name of the Lord your God

and for the Holy One of Israel,

because he has glorified you.^*

¹⁰Foreigners shall build up your walls,

and their kings shall minister to you,

for in my wrath I struck you down,

but in my favor I have had mercy on you.^*

¹¹Your gates shall always be open;

day and night they shall not be shut,

so that nations shall bring you their wealth,

with their kings led in procession.^*
