New International Version NIV
9 God will be king over all the earth, one God and only one. What a Day that will be!
9
The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name.
10 The land will stretch out spaciously around Jerusalem - to Geba in the north and Rimmon in the south, with Jerusalem towering at the center, and the commanding city gates - Gate of Benjamin to First Gate to Corner Gate to Hananel Tower to the Royal Winery - ringing the city
10
The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up high from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its place.
11 full of people. Never again will Jerusalem be totally destroyed. From now on it will be a safe city.
11
It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.
