Tobit 13:16-18
Common English Bible
16 Jerusalem will be built as a city,
God’s house for all ages to come.
I will be greatly favored
when the few remaining from
my offspring see your glory
and acknowledge the king of heaven!
The gates of Jerusalem will be built
with sapphire and emerald,
and all your walls
will be made of precious stone.
The towers of Jerusalem
will be built with gold,
and their fortifications will be made of pure gold.
17 The streets of Jerusalem will be paved with garnet and stone from Ophir.
18 And the gates of Jerusalem will burst into song with joyful hymns,
and all her houses will shout out,
“Hallelujah!
May the God of Israel be praised,
and may those who bless the holy name be blessed forever and always!”
