15 Eternal One: Although you have suffered abandonment, hatred, and hopeless despair,
        and no one dared to pass through,
    I will make you a place of lofty beauty for all time,
        filled and overflowing with joy from generation to generation.
16     You will be enriched by the world and its kings,
        and you will know for certain that I am the Eternal,
    Your Liberator, your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.

17     I will bring you gold instead of bronze, silver instead of iron,
        bronze instead of wood, iron instead of stone.
    Your government will be founded and grounded;
        I will make peace your governor, and righteousness your ruler.
