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.

15  ^bIf anyone stirs up strife,

it is not from me;

whoever stirs up strife with you

shall fall because of you.

16  Behold, I have created the smith

who blows the fire of coals

and produces a weapon for its purpose.

I have also created the ravager to destroy;

17  no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,

and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord

^cand their vindication⁴ from me, declares the Lord.”

1  ^d“Come, everyone who thirsts,

come to the waters;

and he who has no money,

^ecome, buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

without money and without price.

2  ^fWhy do you spend your money for that which is not bread,

and your labor for that which does not satisfy?

Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,

and delight yourselves in rich food.

3  Incline your ear, and come to me;

^ghear, that your soul may live;

^hand I will make with you an everlasting covenant,

ⁱmy steadfast, sure love for ^jDavid.

4  ^kBehold, I made him a witness to the peoples,

^la leader and commander for the peoples.

5  ^kBehold, you shall call a nation that you do not know,

and ^ma nation that did not know you shall run to you,

because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,

ⁿfor he has glorified you.
