60:4 Look all around you! 1
They all gather and come to you –
your sons come from far away
and your daughters are escorted by guardians.
60:9 Indeed, the coastlands 2 look eagerly for me,
the large ships 3 are in the lead,
bringing your sons from far away,
along with their silver and gold,
to honor the Lord your God, 4
the Holy One of Israel, 5 for he has bestowed honor on you.
