Yes, the coastlands will wait for me with hope,
and the ships of Tarshish will be the first
    to bring your children from far away.
They will have their silver and gold with them,
for the name of the Lord your God
and for the Holy One of Israel,
because he makes you beautiful.

10 Then foreigners will rebuild your walls,
and their kings will serve you,
because in my wrath I struck you,
but in my favor I had mercy on you.

11 Then your gates will always remain open.
Day and night they will not be shut,
    in order to bring you the wealth of the nations,
and their kings will be led in procession.
