2 The earth and its peopleare covered with darkness,but the glory of the Lordis shining upon you.
3 Nations and kingswill come to the lightof your dawning day.
4 Open your eyes! Look around!Crowds are coming.Your sons are on their wayfrom distant lands;your daughters are being carriedlike little children.
5 When you see this,your faces will glow;your hearts will poundand swell with pride.Treasures from across the seaand the wealth of nationswill be brought to you.
6 Your country will be coveredwith caravans of young camelsfrom Midian and Ephah.The people of Shebawill bring gold and spicesin praise of me, the Lord.
7 Every sheep of Kedarwill come to you;rams from Nebaiothwill be yours as well.I will accept them as offeringsand bring honor to my temple.
8 What is that sailing bylike cloudsor like doves flying home?
