“O Jerusalem, you suffering, helpless city,
    with no one to comfort you,
I will rebuild your foundations with precious stones.
¹² I will build your towers with rubies,
    your gates with stones that glow like fire,
    and the wall around you with jewels.

¹⁶     Jerusalem will be rebuilt
    and will be his home forever.
Jerusalem, how happy I will be
    when my descendants can see your splendor
    and give thanks to the King of heaven.
Your gates will be built with sapphires and emeralds,
    and all your walls with precious stones.
Your towers will be made of gold,
    and their fortifications of pure gold.
