Isaiah 60:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 60:4-6
Contemporary English Version
Crowds Are Coming to Jerusalem
The Lord said:
4 (A) Open your eyes! Look around!
Crowds are coming.
Your sons are on their way
from distant lands;
your daughters are being carried
like little children.
5 When you see this,
your faces will glow;
your hearts will pound
and swell with pride.[a]
Treasures from across the sea
and the wealth of nations
will be brought to you.
6 Your country will be covered
with caravans of young camels
from Midian and Ephah.[b]
The people of Sheba[c]
will bring gold and spices
in praise of me, the Lord.
