Isaiah 60:17–22

17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold,m

and silver in place of iron.

Instead of wood I will bring you bronze,

and iron in place of stones.

I will make peacen your governor

and well-being your ruler.o

18 No longer will violencep be heard in your land,

nor ruin or destructionq within your borders,

but you will call your walls Salvationr

and your gates Praise.s

19 The sun will no more be your light by day,

nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,

for the Lord will be your everlasting light,t

and your God will be your glory.u

20 Your sunv will never set again,

and your moon will wane no more;

the Lord will be your everlasting light,

and your days of sorroww will end.

21 Then all your people will be righteousx

and they will possessy the land forever.

They are the shoot I have planted,z

the work of my hands,a

for the display of my splendor.b

22 The least of you will become a thousand,

the smallest a mighty nation.c

I am the Lord;

in its time I will do this swiftly.”d
