Your sons shall come from afar,

To the name of the Lord your God,
And to the Holy One of Israel,
(M)Because He has glorified you.
10 “The(N) sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,

For (P)in My wrath I struck you,
(Q)But in My favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Therefore your gates (R)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 (S)For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

20 (A)The children you will have,
(B)After you have lost the others,
Will say again in your ears,
‘The place is too small for me;
Give me a place where I may dwell.’
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have lost my children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro?
And who has brought these up?
There I was, left alone;
But these, where were they?’ ”
22 (C)Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My [a]standard for the peoples;
They shall bring your sons in their [b]arms,
And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
23 (D)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
And their queens your nursing mothers;
They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth,
And (E)lick up the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord,
(F)For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”
