11 You city which is suffering like being battered in a storm

with no one to comfort you,

listen, I’ll rebuild you with turquoise stones,

≈ and place sapphires in your foundations.

12 I’ll make your towers out of rubies

and your gates from beryl stones,

and all your walls from other precious stones.

13 All your children will be followers of Yahweh,

and they’ll experience extended peace.

14 You’ll be established with justice—far away from oppression.

You won’t be afraid of acts of terror because it won’t approach you.

15 Listen, no one will attack you that I haven’t sent.

Anyone stirring up trouble against you will fail.

16 Look, I created the craftsman who fans the charcoal fire,

and produces weapons as his work,

and it’s me who created a destroyer to cause destruction.

17 No weapon that’s made to be used against you will succeed,

and those who speak out accusations against you will be condemned as guilty.

That’s the inheritance of Yahweh’s servants,

and I, Yahweh, will pronounce them as innocent.
