29 As you live in your temple in Jerusalem,
    kings will bring gifts to you.
30 Speak against your enemies!
Some are like wild animals that live in the reeds.[a]
Some are proud nations,
    like bulls among their young cows.
They must be humble and offer to you
    gifts of valuable silver things.
Chase away those nations that like to fight wars.
31 Egypt's leaders will come with gifts.
People will come from Cush
    and they will agree to serve God.[b]
