lift . . . hand—that is, beckon to (see on Isaiah 13:2).
standard— (Isaiah 11:12).
bring . . . sons in . . . arms—The Gentiles shall aid in restoring Israel to its own land (Isaiah 60:4; Isaiah 66:20). Children able to support themselves are carried on the shoulders in the East; but infants, in the arms, or astride on one haunch (Isaiah 60:12). "Thy sons" must be distinct from "the Gentiles," who carry them; and therefore cannot primarily refer to converts among the Gentiles.
