⁹ Certainly the ^(A)coastlands will wait for Me;
And the ^(B)ships of Tarshish will come first,
To ^(C)bring your sons from afar,
Their silver and their gold with them,
For the name of the Lord your God,
And for the Holy One of Israel because He has ^(D)glorified you.

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

¹⁵ “Whereas you have been ^(R)forsaken and ^(S)hated
With no one passing through,
I will make you an ^(T)object of pride forever,
A joy from generation to generation.
¹⁶ You will also ^(U)suck the milk of nations,
And suck the breast of kings;
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your ^(V)Savior
And your ^(W)Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
¹⁷ Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
And instead of iron I will bring silver,
And instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
And I will make peace your administrators,
And righteousness your overseers.
^18 (X)Violence will not be heard again in your land,
Nor ^(Y)devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your ^(Z)walls salvation, and your ^(AA)gates praise.
¹⁹ No longer will you have the ^(AB)sun for light by day,
Nor will the moon give you light for brightness;
But you will have the ^(AC)Lord as an everlasting light,
And your ^(AD)God as your ^[b]glory.
²⁰ Your ^(AE)sun will no longer set,
Nor will your moon wane;
For you will have the Lord as an everlasting light,
And the days of your ^(AF)mourning will be over.
²¹ Then all your ^(AG)people will be righteous;
They will ^(AH)possess the land forever,
The branch of ^[c]My planting,
The ^(AI)work of My hands,
That I may be ^(AJ)glorified.
²² The ^(AK)smallest one will become a thousand,
And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the Lord, will bring it about quickly in its time.”
