Isaiah 47:13

47:13 You are tired out from listening to so much advice. ¹ 

Let them take their stand –

the ones who see omens in the sky,

who gaze at the stars,

who make monthly predictions –

let them rescue you from the disaster that is about to overtake you! ² 

Isaiah 60:4-6

60:4 Look all around you! ³ 

They all gather and come to you –

your sons come from far away

and your daughters are escorted by guardians.

60:5 Then you will look and smile, ⁴ 

you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride. ⁵ 

For the riches of distant lands ⁶  will belong to you

and the wealth of nations will come to you.

60:6 Camel caravans will cover your roads, ⁷ 

young camels from Midian and Ephah.

All the merchants of Sheba ⁸  will come,

bringing gold and incense

and singing praises to the Lord. ⁹
