^4 (A)All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O Lord,
When they hear the words of Your mouth.

‘Peoples shall yet come,
Inhabitants of many cities;
²¹ The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying,
^(A)“Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord,
And seek the Lord of hosts.
I myself will go also.”
²² Yes, ^(B)many peoples and strong nations
Shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem,
And to pray before the Lord.’

⁴ “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.
⁵ 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.
⁶ 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.
⁷ 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.

⁸ “Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?
^9 (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.
^12 (T)For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

¹³ “The^(U) glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make ^(V)the place of My feet glorious.
¹⁴ Also the sons of those who afflicted you
Shall come ^(W)bowing to you,
And all those who despised you shall ^(X)fall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
^(Y)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵ “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
So that no one went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellence,
A joy of many generations.
¹⁶ You shall drink the milk of the Gentiles,
^(Z)And milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that ^(AA)I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

¹⁷ “Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
Instead of iron I will bring silver,
Instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
I will also make your officers peace,
And your magistrates righteousness.
¹⁸ Violence shall no longer be heard in your land,
Neither ^[a]wasting nor destruction within your borders;
But you shall call ^(AB)your walls Salvation,
And your gates Praise.
