Isaiah 60:8-10
Good News Translation
8 What are these ships that skim along like clouds,
Like doves returning home?
9 They are ships coming from distant lands,
Bringing God's people home.
They bring with them silver and gold
To honor the name of the Lord,
The holy God of Israel,
Who has made all nations honor his people.
10 The Lord says to Jerusalem,
“Foreigners will rebuild your walls,
And their kings will serve you.
In my anger I punished you,
But now I will show you my favor and mercy.
Isaiah 60:8-10
New International Version

8 “Who are these(A) that fly along like clouds,(B)
like doves to their nests?
9 Surely the islands(C) look to me;
in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,[a](D)
bringing(E) your children from afar,
with their silver and gold,(F)
to the honor(G) of the Lord your God,
the Holy One(H) of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.(I)
