以賽亞書 60：9-12
現代文譯本（2019）
9 它們是從遠方島嶼回航的商船，
載著上帝的子民還鄉。
他們帶來金銀，
奉獻給上主—以色列神聖的上帝；
因為他使萬國敬重他的子民。
10 上主對耶路撒冷說：
外族人要來替你造城牆；
他們的國王要服事你。
我曾在發怒的時候懲罰你，
但我現在要賜給你恩惠慈愛。
11 你的城門要日夜敞開，
好使列國的君王來進貢財寶。
12 不服事你的民族都要滅亡；
它們的國家要完全荒廢。
ESV
9 For the coastlands shall hope for me, the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your children from afar, their silver and gold with them, for the name of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations, with their kings led in procession.
12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
《舊約-聖經背景註釋》
他施的船只 他施的船只是巨大重型船只，為長程航行設計、高載重量所用。一般認為他施就是腓尼基在今日西班牙地區的殖民地。
