11 (A)The Lord says,

“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,

    and the wall around you with jewels.

13 (B)“I myself will teach your people
    and give them prosperity and peace.
