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]

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.
