Isaiah 54:11-12

54:11 “O afflicted one, driven away, ¹  and unconsoled!

Look, I am about to set your stones in antimony

and I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.

54:12 I will make your pinnacles out of gems, ² 

your gates out of beryl, ³ 

and your outer wall ⁴  out of beautiful ⁵  stones.

[54:11]  ¹ tn Or, more literally, “windblown, storm tossed.”

[54:12]  ² tn Perhaps, “rubies” (so ASV, NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[54:12]  ³ tn On the meaning of אֶקְדָּח (’eqdakh), which occurs only here, see HALOT 82 s.v.

[54:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “border” (so ASV); NASB “your entire wall.”

[54:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “delightful”; KJV “pleasant.”
