Isaiah 66:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And I will set a [a]sign among them, and will send those that [b]escape of them unto the nations of [c]Tarshish, [d]Pul, and [e]Lud, and to them that draw the [f]bow, to [g]Tubal and [h]Javan, isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory, and [i]they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 And they shall bring all your [j]brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations, upon [k]horses, and in chariots, and in horse litters, and upon mules, and swift beasts, to Jerusalem mine holy Mountain, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel offer in a clean vessel in the House of the Lord.
21 And I will take of them for [l]Priests, and for Levites, saith the Lord.
