Translations

Modern
I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. So they will proclaim My glory among the nations.
Traditional
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
Literal
And I will set among them a sign, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, and Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, and Tubal, and Javan, to the islands far away, who have not heard My name and have not seen My glory; and they will declare My glory among the nations.
Latin
Et ponam in eis signum, et mittam ex eis qui salvati fuerint, ad gentes in mare, in Africam, et Lydiam, tendentes sagittam; in Italiam et Græciam, ad insulas longe, ad eos qui non audierunt de me, et non viderunt gloriam meam. Et annuntiabunt gloriam meam gentibus;

Notes

The sign announces God's glory to all nations (Isaiah 66:20). God will establish a righteous and faithful new people made up of godly Gentiles together with faithful Israelites (Revelation 15:3–4; see also Acts 2).

When God reveals his glory to all people, the nations join in God’s plan of redemption. They can even serve as priests and Levites before him. The godly from all nations last from generation to generation as they serve the living God.

Here, the Lord responds to the prayer in Isaiah 63:7–64:12.
