Don’t be shy; don’t be doubtful; lift up your eyes and look around.
    They have gathered all around you, eager to come and be close to you.
And your children will come back to this land:
    your sons from the farthest places of wandering,
    and your daughters gently carried home.
And when you see it, your face will glow;
    your heart will race and be filled with joy;
For great ships will arrive with gifts from across the sea,
    and the wealth of nations will make their way to you.
Herd after herd of camels will cover the land,
    caravans arriving daily from south and southwest: Midian, Ephah,
Even Sheba with gifts of gold and frankincense.
    They will announce for all the world to hear, “The Eternal be praised!”

    your heart will throb and swell with joy;(F)
the wealth(G) on the seas will be brought to you,
    to you the riches of the nations will come.
Herds of camels(H) will cover your land,
    young camels of Midian(I) and Ephah.(J)
And all from Sheba(K) will come,
    bearing gold and incense(L)
    and proclaiming the praise(M) of the Lord.
