¹¹ “Storm-ravaged [city], unconsoled,
I will set your stones in the finest way,
lay your foundations with sapphires,
¹² make your windows shine with rubies,
your gates with garnet, your walls with gemstones.
¹³ All your children will be taught by Adonai;
your children will have great peace.
¹⁴ In righteousness you will be established,
far from oppression, with nothing to fear;
far from ruin, for it will not come near you.
¹⁵ Any alliance that forms against you
will not be my doing;
whoever tries to form such an alliance
will fall because of you.
¹⁶ It is I who created the craftsman
who blows on the coals and forges weapons
suited to their purpose;
I also created the destroyer to work havoc.
¹⁷ No weapon made will prevail against you.
In court you will refute every accusation.
The servants of Adonai inherit all this;
the reward for their righteousness is from me,”

says Adonai.

55 “All you who are thirsty, come to the water!
You without money, come, buy, and eat!
Yes, come! Buy wine and milk
without money — it’s free!
² Why spend money for what isn’t food,
your wages for what doesn’t satisfy?
Listen carefully to me, and you will eat well,
you will enjoy the fat of the land.
³ Open your ears, and come to me;
listen well, and you will live —
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
the grace I assured David.
⁴ I have given him as a witness to the peoples,
a leader and lawgiver for the peoples.
⁵ You will summon a nation you do not know,
and a nation that doesn’t know you will run to you,
for the sake of Adonai your God,
the Holy One of Isra’el, who will glorify you.”
