15 “People hated you.
    You were left all alone with no one passing through.
But I will make you great from now on.
    You will be happy forever and ever.
16 Nations will give you what you need,
    like a child drinking milk from its mother.
But you will ‘drink’ riches from kings.
    Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who saves you.
    You will know that I, the Great God of Jacob, protect you.

17 “You now have copper,
    but I will bring you gold.
You now have iron,
    but I will bring you silver.
I will change your wood into copper
    and your rocks into iron.
I will change your punishment into peace.
    And those who punished you will be replaced with those who are kind to you.

15 “Although you have been forsaken(A) and hated,
    with no one traveling(B) through,
I will make you the everlasting pride(C)
    and the joy(D) of all generations.
16 You will drink the milk of nations
    and be nursed(E) at royal breasts.
Then you will know(F) that I, the Lord, am your Savior,(G)
    your Redeemer,(H) the Mighty One of Jacob.(I)
17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,(J)
    and silver in place of iron.
Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,
    and iron in place of stones.
I will make peace(K) your governor
    and well-being your ruler.(L)

15 Whereas thou has been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
