Honor and Service for Zion[a]

10 Foreigners shall rebuild your walls,
    their kings shall minister to you;
Though in my wrath I struck you,
    yet in my good will I have shown you mercy.(A)
11 Your gates shall stand open constantly;
    day and night they shall not be closed
So that they may bring you the wealth of nations,
    with their kings in the vanguard.(B)
12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you shall perish;
    such nations shall be utterly destroyed!(C)

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.
