17 But behold, this land, saith God, shall be a land of thine inheritance; and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land.
18 And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles: and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto the Gentiles.
19 And I will fortify this land against all other nations;
20 And he that fighteth against Zion, shall perish, saith God; for he that raiseth up a king against me, shall perish.
21 For I the Lord, the King of heaven, will be their king; and I will be a light upon them forever, that hear my words.
