Yesaya 60:17

60:17 Instead of bronze, I will bring you gold,

instead of iron, I will bring you silver,

instead of wood, I will bring you ¹  bronze,

instead of stones, I will bring you ²  iron.

I will make prosperity ³  your overseer,

and vindication your sovereign ruler. ⁴ 

[60:17]  ¹ tn The words “I will bring you” are supplied in the translation; they are understood by ellipsis (see the preceding lines).

[60:17]  ² tn The words “I will bring you” are supplied in the translation; they are understood by ellipsis (see the first two lines of the verse).

[60:17]  ³ tn Or “peace” (KJV and many other English versions).

[60:17]  ⁴ tn The plural indicates degree. The language is ironic; in the past Zion was ruled by oppressive tyrants, but now personified prosperity and vindication will be the only things that will “dominate” the city.
