14 The descendants of your cruel enemies will come to you.
    They will bend down low in front of you.
Everybody who insulted you before
    will now give you honour.
They will call you, ‘The City of the Lord,
    Zion that is home for Israel's Holy God.’
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.
