13 All the great things of Lebanon will be given to you.
    People will bring pine trees, fir trees, and cypress trees to you.
These trees will be used for lumber
    to make my Holy Place[a] more beautiful.
This place is like a stool in front of my throne,
    and I will honor it.[b]
14 In the past, people hurt you,
    but they will bow down before you.
In the past, people hated you,
    but they will bow down at your feet.
They will call you ‘The City of the Lord’s,’
    ‘Zion of the Holy One of Israel.’

15 “People hated you.
    You were left all alone with no one passing through.
But I will make you great from now on.
    You will be happy forever and ever.
