Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me,
    and the ships of Tarshish shall come first,
to bring your sons from afar,
    their silver and their gold with them,
to the name of the Lord your God
    and to the Holy One of Israel
    because He has glorified you.

10 The sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,
    and their kings shall minister to you;
for in My wrath I struck you,
    but in My favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Therefore, your gates shall be open continually;
    they shall not be shut day nor night,
so that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations,
    and that their kings may be brought.

    and their kings(I) will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
    in favor(J) I will show you compassion.(K)

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