Isaiah 66:17-19
Authorized (King James) Version
17 They that sanctify themselves,
and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst,
eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse,
shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory. 19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

New International Version

19 “I will set a sign(H) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(I) to the nations—to Tarshish,(J) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(K) (famous as archers), to Tubal(L) and Greece,(M) and to the distant islands(N) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(O) They will proclaim my glory among the nations.
