10 “Jerusalem, foreigners will rebuild your walls.Their kings will serve you.When I was angry, I hurt you.But now I want to be kind to you and comfort you.
11 Your gates will always be open.They will not be closed day or nightso the nations can bring their wealth to you.And their kings will be led to you.
12 If a nation or kingdom doesn’t serve you,it will be destroyed.It will be completely ruined.
13 “The great trees of Lebanon will be given to you.Its pine, fir and cypress trees will come to you.You will use these trees to make my Temple beautiful.And I will give much honor to this place where I rest my feet.
14 The people who have hurt you will bow down to you.Those who hated you will bow down at your feet.They will call you The City of the Lord.They will call you Jerusalem, city of the Holy One of Israel.
15 “You have been hated and left empty.No one has even passed through.But I will make you great from now on.You will be a place of happiness forever and ever.
16 Nations will give you what you need.It will be like a child drinking milk from its mother.Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who saves you.You will know that the Powerful One of Jacob protects you.
