Isaiah 60:12-17

Modern English Version

¹³ The glory of Lebanon shall come to you,
    the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box tree together,
to beautify the place of My sanctuary;
    and I will make the place of My feet glorious.
¹⁴ The sons also of those who afflicted you shall come bowing before you,
    and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet;
and they shall call you, The City of the Lord,
    the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁵ Whereas you have been forsaken
    and hated so that no man went through you,
I will make you an eternal excellency,
    a joy of many generations.
¹⁶ You shall also suck the milk of the nations
    and suck the breast of kings;
then you shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior
    and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
¹⁷ 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.
I will also make your officers peace
    and your exactors righteousness.
