Isaiah 54:11-17

11“O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted,

I will build you with stones of turquoise,^a

your foundations with sapphires.^b

12I will make your battlements of rubies,

your gates of sparkling jewels,

and all your walls of precious stones.

13All your sons will be taught by the LORD,

and great will be your children’s peace.

14In righteousness you will be established:

Tyranny will be far from you;

you will have nothing to fear.

Terror will be far removed;

it will not come near you.

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

whoever attacks you will surrender to you.

16“See, it is I who created the blacksmith

who fans the coals into flame

and forges a weapon fit for its work.

And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc;

17no weapon forged against you will prevail,

and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.

This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,

and this is their vindication from me,”

declares the LORD.
