Who are these that fly like a cloud
    and like doves to their windows?
For the coastlands shall wait for me,
    the ships of Tarshish first,
to bring your children from far away,
    their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God
    and for the Holy One of Israel,
    because he has glorified you.(A)
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls,
    and their kings shall minister to you,
for in my wrath I struck you down,
    but in my favor I have had mercy on you.(B)

bringing(E) your children from afar,
    with their silver and gold,(F)
to the honor(G) of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One(H) of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.(I)

10 “Foreigners(J) will rebuild your walls,
    and their kings(K) will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
    in favor(L) I will show you compassion.(M)
