Isaiah 54:11-17
Christian Standard Bible
11 “Poor Jerusalem, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
I will set your stones in black mortar,[a]
and lay your foundations in lapis lazuli.(A)
12 I will make your fortifications[b] out of rubies,
your gates out of sparkling stones,
and all your walls out of precious stones.
13 Then all your children will be taught by the Lord,(B)
their prosperity will be great,
14 and you will be established
on a foundation of righteousness.
You will be far from oppression,
you will certainly not be afraid;
you will be far from terror,
it will certainly not come near you.
15 If anyone attacks you,
it is not from me;
whoever attacks you
will fall before you.
16 Look, I have created the craftsman
who blows on the charcoal fire
and produces a weapon suitable for its task;
and I have created the destroyer to cause havoc.
17 No weapon formed against you will succeed,
and you will refute any accusation[c]
raised against you in court.
This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,(C)
and their vindication is from me.”(D)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

New International Version
11 “Afflicted(A) city, lashed by storms(B) and not comforted,(C)
I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a](D)
your foundations(E) with lapis lazuli.(F)
12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
your gates(G) of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,(H)
and great will be their peace.(I)
14 In righteousness(J) you will be established:(K)
Tyranny(L) will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.(M)
Terror(N) 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 surrender(O) to you.
16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith(P)
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon(Q) fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer(R) to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon forged against you will prevail,(S)
and you will refute(T) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants(U) of the Lord,
and this is their vindication(V) from me,”
declares the Lord.
