10 For the (A)mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,
But My [a]favor will not be removed from you,
Nor will My (B)covenant of peace be shaken,”
Says (C)the Lord who has compassion on you.

11 (D)Afflicted one, storm-tossed, and (E)not comforted,
Behold, I will set your stones in antimony,
And I will (F)lay your foundations with [b](G)sapphires.
12 Moreover, I will make your battlements of [c]rubies,
And your gates of [d]crystal,
And your entire [e]wall of precious stones.
