10 “The mountains may disappear,
    and the hills may become dust,
but my faithful love will never leave you.
    I will make peace with you,
    and it will never end.”
The Lord who loves you said this.

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.

    nor my covenant(D) of peace(E) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion(F) on you.

11 “Afflicted(G) city, lashed by storms(H) and not comforted,(I)
    I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a](J)
    your foundations(K) with lapis lazuli.(L)
12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
    your gates(M) of sparkling jewels,
    and all your walls of precious stones.
