11     “O afflicted one, driven away, who is not consoled.
Look! I am about to set your stones in hard mortar,
    and I will lay your foundation with sapphires.
12 And I will make[a] your battlements of ruby,
    and your gates of stones of beryl,
    and all your wall of precious stones.
13 And all your children shall be pupils of Yahweh,
    and the peace of your children shall be great.

14 In righteousness you shall be established.

Be far from oppression, for you shall not fear,
    and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 If indeed one attacks, it is not from me;
    whoever attacks you shall fall because of you.
16 Look! I myself have created the craftsman who blows[b] the fire of coals,
    and who produces[c] a weapon for his work;
    also[d] I myself have created the destroyer to destroy.
17 Every weapon formed against you shall not succeed,
    and you shall declare guilty every tongue that rises against you for judgment.
This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh,
    and their legal right[e] from me,”

declares[f] Yahweh.
