9. For the coastlands shall hope for me, the ships of Tarshish first, to bring your children from afar,their silver and gold with them,for the name of the Lord your God,and for the Holy One of Israel,because he has made you beautiful.
10. Foreigners shall build up your walls,and their kings shall minister to you;for in my wrath I struck you,but in my favor I have had mercy on you.
11. Your gates shall be open continually;day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations,with their kings led in procession.
12. For the nation and kingdomthat will not serve you shall perish;those nations shall be utterly laid waste.
13. The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,the cypress, the plane, and the pine,to beautify the place of my sanctuary,and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
14. The sons of those who afflicted youshall come bending low to you, and all who despised youshall bow down at your feet; they shall call you the City of the Lord,the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
15. Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,with no one passing through, I will make you majestic forever,a joy from age to age.
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.
