14 And the children of those who oppressed you shall come to you bending low,
    and all those who treated you disrespectfully shall bow down at the soles of your feet.
And they shall call you the city of Yahweh,
    Zion of the holy one of Israel.
15 Instead of you being forsaken
    and hated with no one passing through,[a]
I will make[b] you an everlasting object of pride,[c]
    a joy of coming generations.[d]
16 And you shall suck the milk of nations,
    and suck the breast of kings,
and you shall know that I am Yahweh your Savior,
    and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
