[verse 5] Thanne thou schalt se, and schalt flowe; and thin herte schal wondre, and schal be alargid, whanne the multitude of the see is conuertid to thee, the strengthe of hethene men is [verse 6] comun to thee; the flowyng of camels schal hile thee, the lederis of dromedis of Madian and of Effa [Effra EP.] ; alle men of Saba schulen come, bryngynge gold and en|cense, and tellynge heriyng to the Lord. [verse 7] Ech scheep [beest I.] of Cedar schal be gaderid to thee, the rammes of Nabaioth schulen mynystre to thee; thei schulen be offrid on myn acceptable [quemeful, ether acceptable CEFGHIKMNPQRSUVXY.] auter, and Y schal glorifie the hous of my maieste. [verse 8] Who ben these, that fleen as cloudis, and as culueris at her wyndowis? [verse 9] Forsothe ilis abiden me, and the schippis of the see in the bigynnyng; that Y brynge thi sones fro fer, the siluer of hem, and the gold of hem is with hem, to the name of thi Lord God, and to the hooli of Israel; for he schal glorifie thee. [verse 10] And the sones of pil|grymes schulen bilde thi wallis, and the kyngis of hem schulen mynystre to thee. For Y smoot thee in myn indignacioun, and in my recounselyng Y hadde merci on thee. [verse 11] And thi ȝatis schulen be openyd contynueli, day and niȝt tho schulen not be closid; that the strengthe of hethene men be brouȝt to thee, and the kyngis of hem be brouȝt. [verse 12] For whi the folk and rewme that serueth not thee, schal pe|rische, and hethene men schulen be dis|tried bi wildirnesse.

[verse 15] For that that thou were for|sakun, and hatid, and noon was that passide bi thee, Y schal sette thee in to pryde [pryde, that is, glorie and honour CEGIKNPQSUVXY.] of worldis, ioie in generacioun and in to generacioun. [verse 16] And thou schalt souke the mylke of folkis, and thou schalt be soclid with the tete of kyngis; and thou schalt wite that Y am the Lord, sauynge thee, and thin aȝen biere, the stronge of Jacob. [verse 17] For bras Y schal brynge gold, and for irun Y schal brynge siluer; and bras for trees, and yrun for stoonys; and Y schal sette thi visitacioun pees, and thi prelatis [prelatis, ether souereins K.] riȝtfulnesse. [verse 18] Wickidnesse schal no more be herd in thi lond, nether distriyng and defoulyng in thi coostis; and helthe schal ocupie thi wallis, and heriyng schal ocupie thi ȝatis. [verse 19] The sunne schal no more be to thee for to schyne bi dai, nether the briȝtnesse of the moone schal liȝtne thee; but the Lord schal be in to euerlast|ynge liȝt to thee, and thi God schal be in to thi glorie. [verse 20] Thi sunne schal no more go doun, and thi moone schal not be de|creessid; for the Lord schal be in to euer|lastynge liȝt to thee, and the daies of thi mourenyng schulen be fillid. [verse 21] Forsothe thi puple alle iust men, withouten ende schulen enherite the lond, the seed of my plauntyng, the werk of myn hond for to be glorified. [verse 22] The leeste schal be in to a thousynde, and a litil man schal be in to a ful stronge folk. Y, the Lord, schal make this thing sudenli, in the tyme therof.
