Isaiah 60:6

The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.

KJV

Inundatio camelorum operiet te, dromedarii Madian et Epha ; omnes de Saba venient, aurum et thus deferentes, et laudem Domino annuntiantes.

Vulgate

ἀγέλαι καμήλων, καὶ καλύψουσίν σε κάμηλοι Μαδιὰμ καὶ Γαιφά· πάντες ἐκ Σαβὰ ἥξουσιν φέροντες χρυσίον, καὶ λίβανον οἴσουσιν, καὶ τὸ σωτήριον Κυρίου εὐαγγελιοῦνται·

LXX

The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah.
