11 “O you afflicted one,

Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,

Behold, I will lay your stones with ocolorful gems,

And lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,

Your gates of crystal,

And all your walls of precious stones.

13 All your children shall be ptaught by the Lord,

And qgreat shall be the peace of your children.

14 In righteousness you shall be established;

You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;

And from terror, for it shall not come near you.

15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.

Whoever assembles against you shall rfall for your sake.

16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith

Who blows the coals in the fire,

Who brings forth an 1instrument for his work;

And I have created the 2spoiler to destroy.

17 No weapon formed against you shall sprosper,

And every tongue which rises against you in judgment

You shall condemn.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

tAnd their righteousness is from Me,”

Says the Lord.
