Now it will come about that
(A)In the last days
The (B)mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be established [a]as the chief of the mountains,
And will be raised above the hills;
And (C)all the nations will stream to it.
And many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
So that He may teach us [b]about His ways,
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For [c]the law will go out (D)from Zion
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

  2. Isaiah 49:22 Lit on the chest

(A)Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

(B)Raise your eyes all around and see;
They all gather together, they (C)come to you.
Your sons will come from afar,
And your (D)daughters will be [a]carried on the hip.
Then you will see and be (E)radiant,
And your heart will [b]thrill and rejoice;
Because the [c](F)abundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The (G)wealth of the nations will come to you.
A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and (H)Ephah;
All those from (I)Sheba will come;
They will bring (J)gold and frankincense,
And (K)proclaim good news of the praises of the Lord.
All the flocks of (L)Kedar will be gathered to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
They will go up on My (M)altar with acceptance,
And I will (N)glorify My glorious house.
(O)Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their windows?
Certainly the (P)coastlands will wait for Me;
And the (Q)ships of Tarshish will come first,
To (R)bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
And for the Holy One of Israel because He has (S)glorified you.

10 (T)Foreigners will build up your walls,
And their (U)kings will serve you;
For in My (V)wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.
11 Your (W)gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that people may (X)bring you the wealth of the nations,
With (Y)their kings led in procession.
12 For the (Z)nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish,
And the nations will be utterly ruined.
