Isaiah 60:4-6

60:4 Look all around you! ¹ 

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, ² 

you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride. ³ 

For the riches of distant lands ⁴  will belong to you

and the wealth of nations will come to you.

60:6 Camel caravans will cover your roads, ⁵ 

young camels from Midian and Ephah.

All the merchants of Sheba ⁶  will come,

bringing gold and incense

and singing praises to the Lord. ⁷
