Isaiah 54:11-17

11‘My city, enemies attacked you, like a strong storm. Nobody was there to help you. Look! Now I will use beautiful jewels to build you again. I will build your foundation with blue sapphires.

12I will build your strong towers with rubies. I will build your gates with valuable jewels, and I will build your walls with beautiful stones.

13I, the Lord, will teach your children, and peace will fill their lives.

14You will have a strong foundation of righteousness. Your cruel enemies will be far away. You will have nothing to be afraid of. No trouble will come near to frighten you.

15If anyone comes to attack you, I will not have sent them. You will win against anyone who tries to attack you.

16Look! I myself created the worker who knows how to use iron to make things. He makes his fire very hot, and he makes weapons from the iron. He makes weapons that are strong to fight with. I also created the armies who use their weapons to destroy people.

17But nobody can make a weapon that will beat you, when your enemies attack you. If people accuse you of bad things, you will show that they are wrong. That is what the Lord will do as a gift for his servants. Yes, I will show that they are right.’ That is what the Lord says.
