12. Any nation or kingdomthat refuses to serve youwill be wiped out.
13. Wood from Lebanon's best treeswill be brought to you—the pines, the firs,and the cypress trees.It will be used in my templeto make beautiful the placewhere I rest my feet.
14. The descendants of enemieswho hated and ill-treated youwill kneel at your feet.They will say, “You are Zion,the city of the Lord,the holy God of Israel.”
15. You were hated and deserted,rejected by everyone.But I will make you beautiful,a city to be proud offor all time to come.
16. You will drain the wealthof kings and foreign nations.You will know that I,the mighty Lord God of Israel,have saved and rescued you.
17. I will bring bronze and ironin place of wood and stone;in place of bronze and iron,I will bring gold and silver.I will appoint peace and justiceas your rulers and leaders.
