Isaiah 54:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ “You poor city!
    Enemies came against you like storms,
    and no one comforted you.
But I will rebuild you.
    I will use a beautiful mortar to lay the stones of your walls.
    I will use sapphire stones when I lay the foundation.
¹² The stones on top of the wall will be made from rubies.
    I will use shiny jewels for the gates.
    I will use precious stones to build the walls around you.
¹³ I, the Lord, will teach your children,
    and they will have real peace.
