17 I will bring bronze and iron
    in place of wood and stone;
in place of bronze and iron,
    I will bring gold and silver.
I will appoint peace and justice
    as your rulers and leaders.

will never again be heard of
    within your borders.
“Victory” will be the name

“Praise” will be the name
    you give to your gates.

    of the sun or the moon.
I, the Lord your God,
will be your eternal light
    and bring you honor.
