Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
Surely the isles shall wait for me - (note, Isaiah 42:4.)
And the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far - the ships of Tartessus, (note, Isaiah 2:16; Isaiah 23:1 -
i.e., vessels that trade to the most distant regions) will be among the foremost to bring back the scattered Israelites (Isaiah 66:20).
Their silver and their gold with them - the nations among whom the Jews have been scattered shall help them with their money in returning (Isaiah 60:5-7; Isaiah 60:11; Isaiah 60:16), as was the case at the return from Babylon (Ezra 1:1-11; Ezra 4:1-24: cf. Psalms 68:30-31): an earnest of the future and fuller accomplishment of the prophecy.
Unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One - rather, because of the name-because of the Holy One (cf. Isaiah 55:5) (Lowth).
