15  ^dWhereas you have been forsaken and hated,

with no one passing through,

^eI will make you majestic forever,

a joy from age to age.

16  ^fYou shall suck the milk of nations;

you shall nurse at the breast of kings;

and you shall know that ^gI, the Lord, am your Savior

and your Redeemer, ^hthe 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

ⁱand your taskmasters righteousness.

18  ^jViolence shall no more be heard in your land,

devastation or destruction within your borders;

^kyou shall call your walls Salvation,

and your gates Praise.
