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.
17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold,
    and instead of iron I will bring silver,
and instead of wood, bronze,
    and instead of stones, iron.
And I will appoint[a] peace as your overseer,
    and righteousness as your ruling body.[b]
18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land;
    devastation or[c] destruction on your borders.
And you shall call your walls Salvation,
    and your gates, Praise.
