bronze in place of wood,
    iron in place of rocks.
I will ·change your punishment into peace [or make peace your governor/leader],
    and ·you will be ruled by what is right [righteousness will be your ruler].
18 There will be no more violence [L heard] in your country,
    no more ·ruin [devastation; havoc] or destruction within your borders.

    nor will the brightness from the moon be your light,
because the Lord will be your ·light forever [everlasting light],
    and your God will be your glory [Zech. 14:6–7; Rev. 21:23; 22:5].
