13. “The great trees of Lebanon will be given to you:its pine, fir, and cypress trees together.You will use them to make my Temple beautiful,and I will give much honor to this place where I rest my feet.
14. The people who have hurt you will bow down to you;those who hated you will bow down at your feet.They will call you The City of the Lord,Jerusalem, city of the Holy One of Israel.
15. “You have been hated and left emptywith no one passing through.But I will make you great from now on;you will be a place of happiness forever and ever.
16. You will be given what you need from the nations,like a child drinking milk from its mother.Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who saves you.You will know that the Powerful One of Jacob protects you.
17. I will bring you gold in place of bronze,silver in place of iron,bronze in place of wood,iron in place of rocks.I will change your punishment into peace,and you will be ruled by what is right.
18. There will be no more violence in your country;it will not be ruined or destroyed.You will name your walls Salvationand your gates Praise.
19. The sun will no longer be your light during the daynor will the brightness from the moon be your light,because the Lord will be your light forever,and your God will be your glory.
20. Your sun will never set again,and your moon will never be dark,because the Lord will be your light forever,and your time of sadness will end.
21. All of your people will do what is right.They will receive the earth forever.They are the plant I have planted,the work of my own handsto show my greatness.
22. The smallest family will grow to a thousand.The least important of you will become a powerful nation.I am the Lord,and when it is time, I will make these things happen quickly.”
