Isaiah

Isaiah 60:7–9

⁷All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you;

the rams of Nebaioth will serve you

and go up on My altar with acceptance;

I will adorn My glorious house.

⁸Who are these who fly like clouds,

like doves to their shelters?

⁹Surely the islands^a will wait for Me,

with the ships of Tarshish^b in the lead,

to bring your children from afar,

with their silver and gold,

to the honor of the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

for He has glorified you.
