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?
9 On those distant islandsyour people are waitingfor me, the Lord.Seagoing ships lead the wayto bring them homewith their silver and gold.I, the holy Lord God of Israel,do this to honor your people,so they will honor me.
10 Jerusalem, your city wallswill be rebuilt by foreigners;their rulers will becomeyour slaves.I punished you in my anger;now I will be kindand treat you with mercy.
11 Your gates will be openday and nightto let the rulers of nationslead their people to youwith all their treasures.
