Kings will come to see the light of a new day that shines on you. Look 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. 6Traders will bring things on their camels so that your roads are full.
