17 Instead of bronze I will bring gold;
    instead of iron I will bring silver;
    instead of wood, bronze;
    and instead of stones, iron.
I will make peace your governor
    and righteousness your taskmaster.
18 Violence will no longer resound throughout your land,
    nor devastation or destruction within your borders.
You will call your walls Salvation,
    and your gates Praise.
19 The sun will no longer be your light by day,
    nor will the moon shine for illumination by night.[a]
The Lord will be your everlasting light;
    your God will be your glory.
