But the Lord shines his light on you, so that his glory appears over you. People of other nations will come to your light. Kings will come to see the light of a new day that shines on you. 4Look all round you! All your people are coming together to return to you. Your sons are coming from far away, and they carry your daughters in their arms. 5As you see this, your eyes will shine with joy. Your hearts will beat fast, and you will be proud to see them. Traders will bring valuable things to you from lands across the seas. The riches of other nations will come to you.
