Then you will see and be (A)radiant,
And your heart will [a]thrill and rejoice;
Because the [b](B)abundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The (C)wealth of the nations will come to you.
A multitude of camels will cover you,
The young camels of Midian and (D)Ephah;
All those from (E)Sheba will come;
They will bring (F)gold and frankincense,
And (G)proclaim good news of the praises of the Lord.
All the flocks of (H)Kedar will be gathered to you,
The rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
They will go up on My (I)altar with acceptance,
And I will (J)glorify My glorious house.
(K)Who are these who fly like a cloud
And like the doves to their windows?
Certainly the (L)coastlands will wait for Me;
And the (M)ships of Tarshish will come first,
To (N)bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
And for the Holy One of Israel because He has (O)glorified you.
