Isaiah 60:3-11

English Standard Version

^4 (B)Lift up your eyes all around, and see;
    they all gather together, they come to you;
^(C)your sons shall come from afar,
    and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.
⁵ Then you shall see and ^(D)be radiant;
    your heart shall thrill and exult,^[a]
because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
    ^(E)the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
⁶ A multitude of camels shall cover you,
    the young camels of ^(F)Midian and ^(G)Ephah;
    all those from ^(H)Sheba shall come.
^(I)They shall bring gold and frankincense,
    and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord.
⁷ All the flocks of ^(J)Kedar shall be gathered to you;
    the rams of ^(K)Nebaioth shall minister to you;
^(L)they shall come up with acceptance on my altar,
    ^(M)and I will beautify my beautiful house.

⁸ Who are these that fly like a cloud,
    and ^(N)like doves to their windows?
⁹ For ^(O)the coastlands shall hope for me,
    ^(P)the ships of Tarshish first,
^(Q)to bring your children from afar,
    their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God,
    and for the Holy One of Israel,
    because ^(R)he has made you beautiful.

^10 (S)Foreigners shall build up your walls,
    and ^(T)their kings shall minister to you;
for in my wrath I struck you,
    but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
^11 (U)Your gates shall be open continually;
    day and night they shall not be shut,
^(V)that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
    with their kings led in procession.
