Isaiah 60:15-17

International Children’s Bible

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.
