10 And the sons of foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in My wrath I struck you, and in My favor I have compassion on you. 11 And your gates will be open continually—day and night they will not be shut—for bringing the wealth of the nations to you, and their kings being led in procession. 12 For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish, and the nations will be utterly destroyed. 13 The glory of Lebanon will come to you—the cypress, elm, and boxwood together—to beautify the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify the place of My feet. 14 They will come to you, bowing down—the sons of those who afflicted you, and they will bow low at the soles of your feet—all those who despised you; and they will call you the City of YHWH—Zion, of the Holy One of Israel. 15 Instead of your being forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, then I will make you a pride forever, a joy to generation and generation. 16 And you will suck the milk of nations, and you will suck the breast of kings; and you will know that I am YHWH your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 17 In place of bronze I will bring gold, and in place of iron I will bring silver, and in place of the wood bronze, and in place of stones iron; I will appoint peace as your governor, and righteousness as your rulers. 18 Violence will not be heard any longer in your land—devastation or destruction within your borders; and you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise. 19 No longer will the sun be for you as light by day, and for brightness the moon will not shine on your night, and YHWH will be for you as a light forever, and your God as your glory. 20 Your sun will not any longer go down, and your moon will not be gathered; for YHWH will be for you as a light forever, and the days of your mourning will be ended. 21 And your people, all of them, will be righteous; they will inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, to My being glorified. 22 The little one will become as a thousand, and the smallest as a mighty nation; I am YHWH, and in its time I will hasten it!
