12 I will decorate your parapets with rubies,
your gates with sparkling stones,
and your city boundaries with precious gems.[a]
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,
and the peace and prosperity of your children will be great.
14 In righteousness you will be established.
Oppression will be far from you, so you will not be afraid.
Terror will be far from you. It will never come near you.
