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.
12 I will build your strong towers with rubies.
I will build your gates with valuable jewels,
    and I will build your walls with beautiful stones.[a]
13 I, the Lord, will teach your children,
    and peace will fill their lives.
