16  therefore thus says the Lord God,

^r“Behold, I am the one who has laid¹ as a foundation ^sin Zion,

a stone, a tested stone,

a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:

‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’

11  ^v“O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted,

behold, ^wI will set your stones in antimony,

^xand lay your foundations with sapphires.¹

12  I will make your pinnacles of agate,²

your gates of carbuncles,³

and all your wall of precious stones.

13  ^yAll your children ^zshall be taught by the Lord,

^aand great shall be the peace of your children.

14  In righteousness you shall be established;

you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;

and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
