Isaiah 60:6Catholic Public Domain VersionA multitude of camels will inundate you: the dromedaries from Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba will arrive, carrying gold and frankincense, and announcing praise to the Lord. See the chapter |
Also, when the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem, with great riches and with camels which were carrying aromatics, and very much gold, and precious gems, so that she might test him with enigmas.

They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: "In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
