Isaiah 60:6-9

New International Version

⁶Herds of camels^(A) will cover your land,
    young camels of Midian^(B) and Ephah.^(C)
And all from Sheba^(D) will come,
    bearing gold and incense^(E)
    and proclaiming the praise^(F) of the Lord.
⁷All Kedar’s^(G) flocks will be gathered to you,
    the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings^(H) on my altar,^(I)
    and I will adorn my glorious temple.^(J)

⁸“Who are these^(K) that fly along like clouds,^(L)
    like doves to their nests?
⁹Surely the islands^(M) look to me;
    in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,^[a]^(N)
bringing^(O) your children from afar,
    with their silver and gold,^(P)
to the honor^(Q) of the Lord your God,
    the Holy One^(R) of Israel,
    for he has endowed you with splendor.^(S)
