Isaiah 60:9-10

60:9 Indeed, the coastlands ¹  look eagerly for me,

the large ships ²  are in the lead,

bringing your sons from far away,

along with their silver and gold,

to honor the Lord your God, ³ 

the Holy One of Israel, ⁴  for he has bestowed honor on you.

60:10 Foreigners will rebuild your walls;

their kings will serve you.

Even though I struck you down in my anger,

I will restore my favor and have compassion on you. ⁵
