they carry over the Stream of the Poplars.

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 2 bronze,
instead of stones, I will bring you 3 iron.
I will make prosperity 4 your overseer,
and vindication your sovereign ruler. 5
