Look all around you![a]
They all gather and come to you—
your sons come from far away,
and your daughters are escorted by guardians.
Then you will look and smile,[b]
you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride.[c]
For the riches of distant lands[d] will belong to you,
and the wealth of nations will come to you.
Camel caravans will cover your roads,[e]
young camels from Midian and Ephah.
All the merchants of Sheba[f] will come,
bringing gold and incense
and singing praises to the Lord.[g]
