I do this so people will recognize from east to west that there is no God but me; I am the Lord, I have no peer.

I will make your pinnacles out of gems, your gates out of beryl, and your outer wall out of beautiful stones.

The earth quakes before them; the sky reverberates. The sun and the moon grow dark; the stars refuse to shine.
