Isaiah 54:11–17

11 “Afflictedm city, lashed by stormsn and not comforted,o

I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,a p

your foundationsq with lapis lazuli.r

12 I will make your battlements of rubies,

your gatess of sparkling jewels,

and all your walls of precious stones.

13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,t

and great will be their peace.u

14 In righteousnessv you will be established:w

Tyrannyx will be far from you;

you will have nothing to fear.y

Terrorz will be far removed;

it will not come near you.

15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;

whoever attacks you will surrendera to you.

16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmithb

who fans the coals into flame

and forges a weaponc fit for its work.

And it is I who have created the destroyerd to wreak havoc;

17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,e

and you will refutef every tongue that accuses you.

This is the heritage of the servantsg of the Lord,

and this is their vindicationh from me,”

declares the Lord.
