10 (A)Foreigners will build up your walls,
And their (B)kings will serve you;
For in My (C)wrath I struck you,
And in My favor I have had compassion on you.
11 Your (D)gates will be open continually;
They will not be closed day or night,
So that people may (E)bring you the wealth of the nations,
With (F)their kings led in procession.
12 For the (G)nation and the kingdom which will not serve you will perish,
And the nations will be utterly ruined.
13 The (H)glory of Lebanon will come to you,
The (I)juniper, the elm tree and the [a]cedar together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make the (J)place of My feet glorious.
14 The (K)sons of those who afflicted you will come bowing to you,
And all those who despised you will bow down at the soles of your feet;
And they will call you the (L)city of the Lord,
The (M)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
