Isaiah 60:9-11
Living Bible
9 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. For though I destroyed you in my anger, I will have mercy on you through my grace. 11 Your gates will stay wide open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands. The kings of the world will cater to you.

9 Surely the islands(A) look to me;
in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,[a](B)
bringing(C) your children from afar,
with their silver and gold,(D)
to the honor(E) of the Lord your God,
the Holy One(F) of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.(G)
10 “Foreigners(H) will rebuild your walls,
and their kings(I) will serve you.
Though in anger I struck you,
in favor(J) I will show you compassion.(K)
11 Your gates(L) will always stand open,
they will never be shut, day or night,
so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations(M)—
their kings(N) led in triumphal procession.
