Isaiah 60:9-11
New English Translation
9 Indeed, the coastlands[a] look eagerly for me;
the large ships[b] are in the lead,
bringing your sons from far away,
along with their silver and gold,
to honor the Lord your God,[c]
the Holy One of Israel,[d] for he has bestowed honor on you.
10 Foreigners will rebuild your walls;
their kings will serve you.
Even though I struck you down in my anger,
I will restore my favor and have compassion on you.[e]
11 Your gates will remain open at all times;
they will not be shut during the day or at night,
so that the wealth of nations may be delivered,
with their kings leading the way.[f]

in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,[a](B)

the Holy One(F) of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.(G)
