And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
11

13
The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the boxtogether, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feetglorious.

16
Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
