Isaiah 54:11-17

11“O 1afflicted one, storm-tossed, and 2not comforted, Behold, I will set your stones in antimony, And your foundations I will 3lay in 4 5sapphires.12Moreover, I will make your battlements of 6rubies, And your gates of 7crystal, And your entire 8wall of precious stones.13 9All your sons will be 10taught of the Lord; And the well-being of your sons will be 11great.14In 12righteousness you will be established; You will be far from 13oppression, for you will 14not fear; And from 15terror, for it will not come near you.15If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me. 16Whoever assails you will fall because of you.16Behold, I Myself have created the smith who blows the fire of coals And brings out a weapon for its work; And I have created the destroyer to ruin.17 17No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And 18every tongue that 19accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their 20vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.
