Ephesians 2:14-17
New Living Translation
14 For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. 15 He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. 16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.
17 He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near.

troubled and desolate!
I will rebuild you with precious jewels
and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.

your gates of shining gems,
and your walls of precious stones.
13 I will teach all your children,
and they will enjoy great peace.
14 You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.
Your enemies will stay far away.
You will live in peace,
and terror will not come near.

it is not because I sent them.
Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.

who fans the coals beneath the forge
and makes the weapons of destruction.
And I have created the armies that destroy.

raised up to accuse you.

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.
