Isaiah 39:2

39:2 Hezekiah welcomed 1  them and showed them his storehouse with its silver, gold, spices, and high-quality olive oil, as well as his whole armory and everything in his treasuries. Hezekiah showed them everything in his palace and in his whole kingdom. 2 

Isaiah 60:9

60:9 Indeed, the coastlands 3  look eagerly for me,

the large ships 4  are in the lead,

bringing your sons from far away,

along with their silver and gold,

to honor the Lord your God, 5 

the Holy One of Israel, 6  for he has bestowed honor on you.

Isaiah 60:17

60:17 Instead of bronze, I will bring you gold,

instead of iron, I will bring you silver,

instead of wood, I will bring you 7  bronze,

instead of stones, I will bring you 8  iron.

I will make prosperity 9  your overseer,

and vindication your sovereign ruler. 10
