Isaiah 66:18-21
New American Standard Bible
18 “For I [a]know their works and their (A)thoughts; [b]the time is coming to (B)gather all the nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. 19 And I will put a (C)sign among them and send survivors from them to the nations: (D)Tarshish, [c]Put, (E)Lud, [d]Meshech, (F)Tubal, and [e]Javan, to the distant (G)coastlands that have neither heard of My fame nor seen My glory. And they will (H)declare My glory among the nations. 20 Then they shall (I)bring all your countrymen from all the nations as a grain offering to the Lord, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to My (J)holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a (K)clean vessel to the house of the Lord. 21 I will also take some of them as (L)priests and Levites,” says the Lord.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 for I know[a] their works and their thoughts.
I am[b] coming to gather all nations and tongues, and they shall come and shall see my glory,(A) 19 and I will set a sign among them. From them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put,[c] and Lud, to Meshech,[d] Tubal, and Javan, to the coastlands far away that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory, and they shall declare my glory among the nations.(B) 20 They shall bring all your kindred from all the nations as an offering to the Lord, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the Israelites bring a grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord.(C) 21 And I will also take some of them as priests and as Levites, says the Lord.(D)
