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.
16 Nations will give you what you need,
    like a child drinking milk from its mother.
But you will ‘drink’ riches from kings.
    Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who saves you.
    You will know that I, the Great God of Jacob, protect you.
