    I will keep forever my promise of peace.”

10 Though the mountains be shaken(A)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(B) for you will not be shaken(C)
    nor my covenant(D) of peace(E) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion(F) on you.

    I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a](J)
    your foundations(K) with lapis lazuli.(L)
12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
    your gates(M) of sparkling jewels,
    and all your walls of precious stones.
