“Lift up your eyes!
Look around!
They all gather together.
They come to you.
Your sons
Shall come from far away.
Your daughters
Shall be carried on their nurse’s arms.
Then you shall see.
You shall be radiant.
Your heart shall thrill.
Your heart shall rejoice.
Because the abundance of the sea
Shall be brought to you.
The wealth of the nations
Shall come to you.”
Jerusalem should lift up its eyes. They should look around and see all the people coming together. Their sons were coming from far away. Their daughters were being carried by their nurses. There will be rejoicing because of the abundance of the sea and the wealth that they are bringing back to Jerusalem.
