Discovery BoxIsaiah 39:2 
Context39:2 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
Context60:9 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
Context60:17 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
