like doves to their nests?
9 They are ships from the ends of the earth,

with no one traveling through you,
I will make you beautiful forever,
a joy to all generations.

nursing at the breast of a queen.

your moon will not go down.
For the Lord will be your everlasting light.
Your days of mourning will come to an end.

They will possess their land forever,
for I will plant them there with my own hands
in order to bring myself glory.

At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

They are the shoot I have planted,(BR)
the work of my hands,(BS)
for the display of my splendor.(BT)
