Isaiah 54:11 Context
9For this is as the waters of Noah vnto me: for as I haue sworne that the waters of Noah should no more goe ouer the earth; so haue I sworne that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee. 10For the mountaines shall depart, and the hilles be remoued, but my kindnesse shall not depart from thee, neither shall the couenant of my peace be remoued, saith the Lord, that hath mercie on thee. 11¶ Oh thou afflicted, tossed with tempest and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with faire colours, and lay thy foundations with Saphires. 12And I will make thy windowes of Agates, and thy gates of Carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. 13And all thy children shalbe taught of the Lord, and great shalbe the peace of thy children.
