And they shall build the ancient ruins,
    they shall erect the former deserted places.
And they shall restore the devastated cities,[a]
    the deserted places of many generations.[b]
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,[c]
    and foreigners[d] shall be your farmers and vinedressers.
But[e] you shall be called the priests of Yahweh,
    you will be called[f] servers of our God.
You shall eat the wealth of the nations,
    and you shall boast in their riches.
