Isaias

12 For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; and the nations shall be utterly wasted.

13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the plane tree and the larch together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet honourable.

14 And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall go unto thee, bowing down; and all they that scorned thee shall bow themselves to the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee the City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

15 Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, and none passing through thee; I will set thee for an everlasting pride, a gladness of generation upon generation.

16 And thou shalt suck the milk of nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob.

17 Instead of brass I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver, and instead of wood brass, and instead of stones iron; and I will make thy government peace, and thine overseers righteousness.

18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction in thy borders; and thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.

19 The sun shall no more be thy light by day; and as for shining, the moon shall not give light to thee; and the LORD shall be to thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy beauty.

20 Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for the LORD shall be to thee an everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be fulfilled

21 And thy people shall be all of them righteous; they shall possess the land for ever; the shoot of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may beautify myself.

22 The smallest shall become a thousand, and the least a strong nation; I the LORD will hasten it in its time.
