17 I will bring you gold instead of bronze.
    I will bring you silver instead of iron.
I will give you bronze to use, instead of wood.
    I will give you iron instead of stones.
I will cause peace to be your city's leader.
    Righteousness will rule over you.
18 You will not hear the noise of violence in your land any more.
Inside its borders,
    nobody will fight wars or destroy things.
You will call your city's walls ‘Salvation’,
    and you will call your city's gates ‘Praise’.
19 You will no longer need the sun
    to give you light in the day again.
You will not need the moon to shine at night.
Instead, the Lord will be the light
    that shines on you for ever.
Yes, your God will be the light
    that brings you honour.
