15. Instead of deserted and hated, no one passing through, I will make you an eternal pride, joy from generation to generation.
16. You will also suck the milk of nations and nurse at the breast of kings. Then you will know that I, Adonai, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17. “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 make shalom your overseer, and righteousness your taskmasters.
18. No more will violence be heard in your land, devastation nor destruction within your borders. But you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise.
19. No more will the sun be your light by day, nor the glow of the moon be your light, but Adonai will be your everlasting light, and your God for your glory.
20. No more will your sun set, nor will your moon wane, for Adonai will be your everlasting light, as the days of your mourning end.
21. Then your people will all be righteous. They will possess the land forever— the branch of His planting, the work of My hands— that I may be glorified.
22. The smallest will become a thousand, and the least a mighty nation. I, Adonai, will hasten it in its time.”
