I have reserved the ships of many lands, the very best,[a] to bring the sons of Israel home again from far away, bringing their wealth with them. For the Holy One of Israel, known around the world, has glorified you in the eyes of all.

10 Foreigners will come and build your cities. Presidents and kings will send you aid.

The kings of the world will cater to you.
