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.
17 I will bring you gold in place of bronze.I will bring you silver in place of iron.I will bring you bronze in place of wood.I will bring you iron in place of rocks.I will change your punishment into peace.And you will be ruled by what is right.
18 There will be no more violence in your country.It will not be ruined or destroyed.You will name your walls Salvation.And you will name your gates Praise.
19 The sun will no longer be your light during the day.The light from the moon will no longer be your light.This is because the Lord will be your light forever.Your God will be your glory.
