People from lands across the seas are coming to find me.
    Their big ships are leading them.
They are bringing your children from far away,
    as well as silver and gold.
They come to give honour to the name of the Lord your God.
    He is Israel's Holy God.
They come here because he has shown that you are great.
10 Foreign people will build your walls again.
    Their kings will be your servants.
I punished you when I was angry with you.
But now I will show my grace
    and I will be kind to you.
11 The gates of your city will always be open.
People will never close them,
    during the day or during the night.
Then other nations will bring their riches to you,
    and their kings will lead them.

    they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations(M)
