People from the islands are coming to me.
    The ships of Tarshish are out in front.
They are bringing your children back from far away.
    Your children are bringing their silver and gold with them.
They are coming to honor me.
    I am the Lord your God.
I am the Holy One of Israel.
    I have honored you.

10 “People from other lands will rebuild your walls.
    Their kings will serve you.
When I was angry with you, I struck you.
    But now I will show you my tender love.
11 Your gates will always stand open.
    They will never be shut, day or night.
Then people can bring you the wealth of the nations.
    Their kings will come along with them.
