Isaiah 54 Cont

“Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted,

    I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,

    your foundations with lapis lazuli.

I will make your battlements of rubies,

    your gates of sparkling jewels,

    and all your walls of precious stones.

(New Jerusalem)

All your children will be taught by the Lord,

    and great will be their peace.

In righteousness you will be established:

Tyranny will be far from you;

    you will have nothing to fear.

Terror will be far removed;

    it will not come near you.

If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;

    whoever attacks you will surrender to you.
