10. Even if the mountains are removedand the hills displaced,my devotion will not be removed from you,nor will my covenant of friendship be displaced,”says the Lord, the one who has compassion on you.
11. “O afflicted one, driven away, and unconsoled!Look, I am about to set your stones in antimonyand I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.
12. I will make your pinnacles out of gems,your gates out of beryl,and your outer wall out of beautiful stones.
13. All your children will be followers of the Lord,and your children will enjoy great prosperity.
14. You will be reestablished when I vindicate you.You will not experience oppression;indeed, you will not be afraid.You will not be terrified,for nothing frightening will come near you.
15. If anyone dares to challenge you, it will not be my doing!Whoever tries to challenge you will be defeated.
16. Look, I create the craftsman,who fans the coals into a fireand forges a weapon.I create the destroyer so he might devastate.
17. No weapon forged to be used against you will succeed;you will refute everyone who tries to accuse you.This is what the Lord will do for his servants – I will vindicate them,”says the Lord.
