“Lift up your eyes and look about you:
    All assemble(A) and come to you;
your sons come from afar,(B)
    and your daughters(C) are carried on the hip.(D)
Then you will look and be radiant,(E)
    your heart will throb and swell with joy;(F)
the wealth(G) on the seas will be brought to you,
    to you the riches of the nations will come.
Herds of camels(H) will cover your land,
    young camels of Midian(I) and Ephah.(J)
And all from Sheba(K) will come,
    bearing gold and incense(L)
    and proclaiming the praise(M) of the Lord.
All Kedar’s(N) flocks will be gathered to you,
    the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings(O) on my altar,(P)
    and I will adorn my glorious temple.(Q)

“Who are these(R) that fly along like clouds,(S)
    like doves to their nests?
Surely the islands(T) look to me;
    in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,[a](U)
bringing(V) your children from afar,
    with their silver and gold,(W)
to the honor(X) of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One(Y) of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.(Z)
