15  Whereas you have been forsaken and hated,

with no one passing through,

I will make you majestic forever,

ⁿa joy from age to age.

16  You shall suck the milk of nations;

you shall ^onurse at the breast of kings;

and you shall know that I, the Lord, am ^pyour 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;

instead of wood, bronze,

instead of stones, iron.

I will make your overseers peace

and your taskmasters righteousness.

18  Violence shall no more be heard in your land,

devastation or destruction within your borders;

you shall call your ^qwalls Salvation,

and your gates Praise.
