14 The descendants of your tormentors
will come and bow before you.
Those who despised you
will kiss your feet.
They will call you the City of the Lord,
and Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

with no one traveling through you,
I will make you beautiful forever,

nursing at the breast of a queen.

am your Savior and your Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.[a]
