aAnd milk the breast of kings;
You shall know that bI, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Instead of iron I will bring silver,
Instead of wood, bronze,
And instead of stones, iron.
I will also make your officers peace,
And your magistrates righteousness.
Neither1 wasting nor destruction within your borders;
But you shall call ayour walls Salvation,
And your gates Praise.
God the Glory of His People
Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you;
But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light,
And byour God your glory.
Nor shall your moon withdraw itself;
For the Lord will be your everlasting light,
And the days of your mourning shall be ended.
bThey shall inherit the land forever,
cThe branch of My planting,
dThe work of My hands,
That I may be glorified.
And a small one a strong nation.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”

Isaiah 60:18
(Isaiah 2:4). Not only shall thy walls keep thee safe from foes, but "Salvation" shall serve as thy walls, converting thy foes into friends, and so ensuring thee perfect safety (Isaiah 26:1-2).
gates—once the scene of "destruction" when victorious foes burst through them (Nehemiah 1:3); henceforth to be not only the scene of praises, but "Praise" itself; the "gates," as the place of public concourse, were the scene of thanksgivings (II Chronicles 31:2; Psalms 9:14; Psalms 24:7; Psalms 100:4). "Judah," the favored tribe, means "praise."
