“Lift(A) up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, (B)they come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;

And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

Shall come (V)bowing to you,
And all those who despised you shall (W)fall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
(X)Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 “Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,
So that no one went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellence,
A joy of many generations.

(Y)And milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that (Z)I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

17 “Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
Instead of iron I will bring silver,
Instead of wood, bronze,

Neither [a]wasting nor destruction within your borders;
But you shall call (AA)your walls Salvation,
And your gates Praise.

God the Glory of His People

Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;
For the Lord will be your everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning shall be ended.

(AF)They shall inherit the land forever,
(AG)The branch of My planting,
(AH)The work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.

And a small one a strong nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”
