15 “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,so that no one passed through you,I will make you an eternal excellency,a joy of many generations.
16 You will also drink the milk of the nations,and will nurse from royal breasts.Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior,your Redeemer,the Mighty One of Jacob.
17 For bronze I will bring gold;for iron I will bring silver;for wood, bronze,and for stones, iron.I will also make peace your governor,and righteousness your ruler.
18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land,nor desolation or destruction within your borders;but you will call your walls Salvation,and your gates Praise.
19 The sun will be no more your light by day;nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you,but the Lord will be your everlasting light,and your God will be your glory.
20 Your sun will not go down any more,nor will your moon withdraw itself;for the Lord will be your everlasting light,and the days of your mourning will end.
21 Then your people will all be righteous.They will inherit the land forever,the branch of my planting,the work of my hands,that I may be glorified.
