Isaiah 66:18-21
English Standard Version
18 “For I know[a] their works and their thoughts, and the time is coming[b] (A)to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and shall see my glory, 19 and I will set a sign among them. And from them (B)I will send survivors to the nations, to (C)Tarshish, (D)Pul, and (E)Lud, who draw the bow, to (F)Tubal and (G)Javan, (H)to the coastlands far away, (I)that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations. 20 (J)And they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations (K)as an offering to the Lord, on horses and in chariots and in litters and on mules and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the Israelites bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21 (L)And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the Lord.
