16. You shall suck the milk of nations;you shall nurse at the breast of kings;and you shall know that I, the Lord, am your Saviorand your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
17. Instead of bronze I will bring gold,and instead of iron I will bring silver;instead of wood, bronze,instead of stones, iron.I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness.
18. Violence shall no more be heard in your land,devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation,and your gates Praise.
19. The sun shall be no moreyour light by day,nor for brightness shall the moongive you light;but the Lord will be your everlasting light,and your God will be your glory.
20. Your sun shall no more go down,nor your moon withdraw itself;for the Lord will be your everlasting light,and your days of mourning shall be ended.
21. Your people shall all be righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,that I might be glorified.
22. The least one shall become a clan,and the smallest one a mighty nation; I am the Lord;in its time I will hasten it.
