Isaiah 54:11-17
Legacy Standard Bible
11 “O (A)afflicted one, storm-tossed, and (B)not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones in antimony,
And your foundations I will (C)set in [a](D)sapphires.
12 Moreover, I will make your battlements of [b]rubies,
And your gates of [c]crystal,
And your entire [d]wall of [e]precious stones.
13 (E)All your sons will be [f]taught of Yahweh;
And the peace of your sons will be (F)great.
14 In (G)righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from (H)oppression, for you will (I)not fear,
And from (J)terror, for it will not come near you.
15 If anyone fiercely attacks you it will not be from Me.
(K)Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.
16 Behold, I Myself have created the craftsman who blows the fire of coals
And brings out a weapon for its work;
And I have created the bringer of ruin to wreak destruction.
17 (L)No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And (M)every tongue that [g]accuses you in judgment you will condemn.
This is the inheritance of the [h]slaves of Yahweh,
And their (N)righteousness is from Me,” declares Yahweh.

Isaiah 54:11-17
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 Watch me, you afflicted woman, storm-tossed and not comforted,
I will set your precious stones in black mortar[a]
and lay down sapphires as your foundation.
12 I will decorate your parapets with rubies,
your gates with sparkling stones,
and your city boundaries with precious gems.[b]
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,
and the peace and prosperity of your children will be great.
14 In righteousness you will be established.
Oppression will be far from you, so you will not be afraid.
Terror will be far from you. It will never come near you.
15 If anyone attacks you, because of me he will accomplish nothing.[c]
Whoever launches an attack against you will fall before you.
16 See, I myself created the craftsman
who blows on the charcoal in the fire
to produce weapons for their task.
I myself have created a destroyer to cause devastation.
17 Every weapon formed against you will fail,
and you will condemn every tongue that rises up to judge you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord.
Their righteousness is from me, declares the Lord.
