The (A)Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

“Lift(B) up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, (C)they come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because (D)the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
The multitude of camels shall cover your land,
The dromedaries of Midian and (E)Ephah;
All those from (F)Sheba shall come;
They shall bring (G)gold and incense,
And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.
All the flocks of (H)Kedar shall be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
They shall ascend with (I)acceptance on My altar,
And (J)I will glorify the house of My glory.

“Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?
(K)Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
(L)To bring your sons from afar,
(M)Their silver and their gold with them,
To the name of the Lord your God,
And to the Holy One of Israel,
(N)Because He has glorified you.

10 “The(O) sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,
(P)And their kings shall minister to you;
For (Q)in My wrath I struck you,
(R)But in My favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Therefore your gates (S)shall be open continually;
They shall not be shut day or night,
That men may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,
And their kings in procession.

18 “For I know their works and their (A)thoughts. It shall be that I will (B)gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory. 19 (C)I will set a sign among them; and those among them who escape I will send to the nations: to Tarshish and [a]Pul and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar off who have not heard My fame nor seen My glory. (D)And they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles. 20 Then they shall (E)bring all your brethren (F)for an offering to the Lord out of all nations, on horses and in chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord. 21 And I will also take some of them for (G)priests and Levites,” says the Lord.
