The [a]multitude of camels shall cover thee: and the dromedaries of Midian and of Ephah: all they of Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense, and show forth the praises of the Lord.

All the sheep of [b]Kedar shall be gathered unto thee: the rams of Nebajoth shall serve thee: they shall come up to be accepted upon mine [c]altar: and I will beautify the house of my glory.

Who are these [d]that fly like a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
