10 “The(A) sons of foreigners shall build up your walls,
(B)And their kings shall minister to you;
For (C)in My wrath I struck you,
(D)But in My favor I have had mercy on you.
11 Therefore your gates (E)shall be open continually;
They shall not be shut day or night,
That men may bring to you the wealth of the Gentiles,
And their kings in procession.
12 (F)For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish,
And those nations shall be utterly ruined.

13 “The(G) glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together,
To beautify the place of My sanctuary;
And I will make (H)the place of My feet glorious.
14 Also the sons of those who afflicted you
Shall come (I)bowing to you,
And all those who despised you shall (J)fall prostrate at the soles of your feet;
And they shall call you The City of the Lord,
(K)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.
16 You shall drink the milk of the Gentiles,
(L)And milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that (M)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,
And instead of stones, iron.
I will also make your officers peace,
And your magistrates righteousness.
