The stones on top of the wall\par will be made from rubies.\par I will use shiny jewels for the gates.\par I will use precious stones\par to build the walls around you.\par
“You poor city!\par Enemies came against you like storms.\par And no one comforted you.\par But I will build you again.\par I will use a beautiful mortar\par to lay the stones of your walls.\par I will use sapphire stones\par when I lay the foundation.\par
At that time, the Lord their God\par will save his people\par like a shepherd saves his sheep.\par They will be very precious to him.\par They will be like sparkling jewels\par on his land.\par
The city had a large, high wall with twelve gates. There were twelve angels at the gates. On each gate was written the name of one of the twelve family groups of Israel. {\cf2\super [161]}
