13. The glory of Lebanon will come to you —its pine, fir, and cypress together —to beautify the place of My sanctuary,and I will glorify My dwelling place.
14. The sons of your oppressorswill come and bow down to you; all who reviled youwill fall facedown at your feet. They will call you the City of the Lord,Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15. Instead of your being deserted and hated,with no one passing through, I will make you an object of eternal pride, a joy from age to age.
16. You will nurse on the milk of nations,and nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17. I will bring gold instead of bronze;I will bring silver instead of iron,bronze instead of wood,and iron instead of stones.I will appoint peace as your guardand righteousness as your ruler.
18. Violence will never again be heard of in your land; devastation and destructionwill be gone from your borders.But you will name your walls salvation and your gates, praise.
19. The sun will no longer be your light by day,and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you;but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.
20. Your sun will no longer set,and your moon will not fade;for the Lord will be your everlasting light,and the days of your sorrow will be over.
21. Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever; they are the branch I planted,the work of My hands,so that I may be glorified.
22. The least will become a thousand,the smallest a mighty nation.I am Yahweh;I will accomplish it quickly in its time.
