People in faraway lands are waiting for me.
    The great trading ships will come first,
bringing your children from faraway lands,
    and with them silver and gold.
This will honor the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel,
    who does wonderful things for you.

10 “Jerusalem, foreigners will rebuild your walls,
    and their kings will serve you.
When I was angry, I hurt you,
    but now I want to be kind to you and comfort you.
11 Your gates will always be open;
    they will not be closed day or night
so the nations can bring their wealth to you,
    and their kings will be led to you.
