Isaiah 54:11-17

11“O afflicted one, driven away, and unconsoled! Look, I am about to set your stones in antimony and I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.

12I will make your pinnacles out of gems, your gates out of beryl, and your outer wall out of beautiful stones.

13All your children will be followers of the Lord, and your children will enjoy great prosperity.

14You will be reestablished when I vindicate you. You will not experience oppression; indeed, you will not be afraid. You will not be terrified, for nothing frightening will come near you.

15If anyone dares to challenge you, it will not be my doing! Whoever tries to challenge you will be defeated.

16Look, I create the craftsman, who fans the coals into a fire and forges a weapon. I create the destroyer so he might devastate.

17No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed; you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you. This is what the Lord will do for his servants – I will vindicate them,” says the Lord.
