Isaiah 60:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ At one time, people kept away from you,
    and they hated you.
    Nobody travelled through you.
But now I will make you a great city,
    so that people will be proud of you for ever.
Your people and their descendants will be very happy.
¹⁶ Other nations and their kings
    will give you everything that you need.
They will be like mothers
    who feed their babies with their milk.
Then you will know that I, the Lord,
    have made you safe.
You will know that I am your Redeemer,
    the Mighty One of Jacob.
¹⁷ I will bring you gold instead of bronze.
    I will bring you silver instead of iron.
I will give you bronze to use, instead of wood.
    I will give you iron instead of stones.
I will cause peace to be your city's leader.
    Righteousness will rule over you.
