12I will make your towers of sparkling rubies, your gates of shining gems, and your walls of precious stones. 13I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace. You will be secure under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away.

Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat. 16“I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals beneath the forge and makes the weapons of destruction. And I have created the armies that destroy.
