13 The glory of Lebanon will come to you(A)
its pine, elm, and cypress together(B)
to beautify the place of my sanctuary,
and I will glorify my dwelling place.[a]
14 The sons of your oppressors
will come and bow down to you;(C)
all who reviled you
will fall facedown at your feet.(D)
They will call you the City of the Lord,
Zion of the Holy One of Israel.(E)
15 Instead of your being deserted and hated,
with no one passing through,(F)
I will make you an object of eternal pride,(G)
a joy from age to age.
