11 “Poor Jerusalem, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
I will set your stones in black mortar,[a]
and lay your foundations in sapphires.[b](A)
12 I will make your fortifications[c] out of rubies,
your gates out of sparkling stones,
and all your walls out of precious stones.
13 Then all your children will be taught by the Lord,(B)
their prosperity will be great,
14 and you will be established
on a foundation of righteousness.
You will be far from oppression,
you will certainly not be afraid;
you will be far from terror,
it will certainly not come near you.
15 If anyone attacks you,
it is not from Me;
whoever attacks you
will fall before you.
16 Look, I have created the craftsman
who blows on the charcoal fire
and produces a weapon suitable for its task;
and I have created the destroyer to cause havoc.
17 No weapon formed against you will succeed,
and you will refute any accusation[d]
raised against you in court.
This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,(C)
and their righteousness is from Me.”(D)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

11 “O afflicted one,[a] passed back and forth,[b] and not comforted,
    Look! I am about to set your stones in antimony,
        and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 And I’ll make your battlements of rubies,
    and your gates of jewels,
        and all your walls of precious stones.
13 Then all your children will be taught by the Lord,
    and great will be your children’s prosperity.

14 “In righteousness you’ll be established;
    you will be far from tyranny,
        for you won’t be afraid,
    and from terror,
        for it won’t come near you.
15 Watch! If anyone does attack you,
    it will not be from me;
whoever may attack[c] you will fall[d] because of you.
16 Look! It is I who have created the blacksmith
    who fans coals in the fire,
        and produces a weapon for his purpose.
It[e] is I who have created the ravager to wreak havoc;
17 no weapon that is forged against you will be effective.[f]
This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,
    and their righteousness from me,”
        says the Lord.
