Isaiah 60:4-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. “Look around you.People are gathering and coming to you.They are your sons coming from far away.And your daughters are coming with them.

5. When you see them, you will shine with happiness.You will be excited and full of joy.The wealth of the nations across the seas will be given to you.The riches of the nations will come to you.

6. Herds of camels will cover your land.Young camels will come from Midian and Ephah.People will come from Shebabringing gold and incense.And they will sing praises to the Lord.

7. All the sheep from Kedar will be given to you.The male sheep from Nebaioth will be brought to you.They will be pleasing sacrifices on my altar.And I will make my beautiful Temple more beautiful.

8. “The people are returning to you like clouds.They are like doves flying to their nests.

9. People in faraway lands are waiting for me.The great trading ships will come first.They are bringing your children from faraway lands.And with them they bring silver and gold.This will happen to honor the Lord your God.He is the Holy One of Israel.And he does wonderful things for you.

10. “Jerusalem, foreigners will rebuild your walls.Their kings will serve you.When I was angry, I hurt you.But now I want to be kind to you and comfort you.
