New King James Version
4 “Lift(A) up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, (B)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 (C)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 (D)Ephah;
All those from (E)Sheba shall come;
They shall bring (F)gold and incense,
And they shall proclaim the praises of the Lord.
7 All the flocks of (G)Kedar shall be gathered together to you,
The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you;
They shall ascend with (H)acceptance on My altar,
And (I)I will glorify the house of My glory.
8 “Who are these who fly like a cloud,
And like doves to their roosts?
9 (J)Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me;
And the ships of Tarshish will come first,
(K)To bring your sons from afar,
(L)Their silver and their gold with them,
To the name of the Lord your God,

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.

New King James Version
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.”
