like doves to their nests?
9 They are ships from the ends of the earth,
from lands that trust in me,

with no one traveling through you,
I will make you beautiful forever,
a joy to all generations.

nursing at the breast of a queen.

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

and your stones for iron.

and praise will be on the lips of all who enter there.

your moon will not go down.
For the Lord will be your everlasting light.
Your days of mourning will come to an end.

They will possess their land forever,
for I will plant them there with my own hands
in order to bring myself glory.

and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation.
At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”
