6:8 “I also hereby issue orders as to what you are to do with those elders of the Jews in order to rebuild this temple of God. From the royal treasury, from the taxes of Trans-Euphrates the complete costs are to be given to these men, so that there may be no interruption of the work. 1
60:4 Look all around you! 2
They all gather and come to you –
your sons come from far away
and your daughters are escorted by guardians.
60:5 Then you will look and smile, 3
you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride. 4
For the riches of distant lands 5 will belong to you
and the wealth of nations will come to you.
60:6 Camel caravans will cover your roads, 6
young camels from Midian and Ephah.
All the merchants of Sheba 7 will come,
bringing gold and incense
and singing praises to the Lord. 8
60:7 All the sheep of Kedar will be gathered to you;
the rams of Nebaioth will be available to you as sacrifices. 9
They will go up on my altar acceptably, 10
and I will bestow honor on my majestic temple.
60:8 Who are these who float along 11 like a cloud,
who fly like doves to their shelters? 12
60:9 Indeed, the coastlands 13 look eagerly for me,
the large ships 14 are in the lead,
bringing your sons from far away,
along with their silver and gold,
to honor the Lord your God, 15
the Holy One of Israel, 16 for he has bestowed honor on you.
