And suck the breast (abundance) of kings;

“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.

Nor devastation or destruction within your borders;
But you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise [to God].
