Isaiah 54:11-17
New American Standard Bible
11 “(A)Afflicted one, storm-tossed, and (B)not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And I will (C)lay your foundations with [a](D)sapphires.
12 Moreover, I will make your battlements of [b]rubies,
And your gates of [c]crystal,
And your entire [d]wall of precious stones.
13 (E)All your sons will be [e]taught by the Lord;
And the well-being of your sons will be (F)great.
14 In (G)righteousness you will be established;
You will be far from (H)oppression, for you will (I)not fear;
And from (J)terror, for it will not come near you.
15 If anyone fiercely attacks you, it will not be from Me.
(K)Whoever attacks you will fall because of you.
16 Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows on the fire of coals
And produces a weapon for its work;
And I have created the destroyer to inflict ruin.
17 (L)No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And you will condemn (M)every tongue that [f]accuses you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their (N)vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.

Isaiah 54:11-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.
