Zion Glorified

9 Surely for me, shall, Coastlands, wait, And the ships of Tarshish first, To bring in thy sons, from far, Their silver and their gold with them, - Unto the name of Yahweh, thy God, And unto the Holy One of Israel Because he hath adorned thee. 10 So shall the sons of the foreigner, build thy walls, And their kings, shall wait upon thee, - For in my vexation, I smote thee, But in my favour, have I had compassion upon thee. 11 So shall thy gates be open - continually, Neither day nor night, shall they be shut, - That they may bring unto thee the riches of the nations, And their kings, be led.
