Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with (A)colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.

Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children shall be (B)taught by the Lord,
And (C)great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall (D)fall for your sake.

Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an [a]instrument for his work;
And I have created the [b]spoiler to destroy.

And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
(F)And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

10 (A)I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,
My soul shall be joyful in my God;
For (B)He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
(C)As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth,
So the Lord God will cause (D)righteousness and (E)praise to spring forth before all the nations.

That they may be called trees of righteousness,
(B)The planting of the Lord, (C)that He may be glorified.”
4 And they shall (D)rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,
And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.
5 (E)Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,
And the sons of the foreigner
Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 (F)But you shall be named the priests of the Lord,
They shall call you the servants of our God.
(G)You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
And in their glory you shall boast.
