7 Every flock of Kedar they will gather to you [the] rams of Nebaioth they will serve you they will go up on acceptance altar my and [the] house of splendor my I will beautify.
Yonke imihlambi yaseKhedari izabuthelwa kuwe; inqama zaseNebhayothi zizakusiza; zizakwamukeleka njengeminikelo e-alithareni lami, njalo ngizahlobisa ithempeli lami elilodumo.
8 Who? [are] these like cloud they fly and like doves to openings their.

10 And they will rebuild sons of foreignness walls your and kings their they will serve you for in wrath my I struck you and in favor my I have had compassion on you.

11 And they will be open gates your continually by day and night not they will be shut to bring to you [the] wealth of nations and kings their [will be] led.
Amasango akho azahlala evulekile; kawayikuvalwa emini loba ebusuku ukuze abantu bakulethele inotho yezizwe, amakhosi azo ekhokhelwe ludwendwe lokunqoba.
12 For the nation and the kingdom which not they will serve you they will perish and the nations certainly they will become desolate.
