Sons of foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you; though in my wrath I punished you, yet in my favor I will have compassion you. Your gates also will remain open continually; they will not be shut day or night, so that the wealth of the nations may be brought, with their kings being led. Indeed, nations and kingdoms that will not serve you will perish; those nations will be completely ruined. The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress tree, the fir, and the cypress box tree together, to beautify my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place my feet. They will come to you to bow down, the sons of those humbled you; those who showed contempt for you will bow at the soles of your feet; they will call you The City of Yahweh, Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Instead of you remaining abandoned and hated with no one passing through you, I will make you a thing of pride forever, a joy from generation to generation. You will also drink the milk of the nations, and will nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that, Yahweh, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I will bring gold, instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will appoint peace as your governors, and justice your rulers. Violence will no longer be heard in your land, neither devastation nor crushing within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. The sun will no be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you; but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God your glory. Your sun will no longer set, nor will your moon withdraw and disappear; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will be ended. All your people will be righteous; they will take possession of the land for all time, the branch of my planting, the work of hands, that I may be glorified. The least of you will become a thousand, and the smallest one a mighty nation; I, Yahweh, will swiftly accomplish these things when the time comes.
