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.
