¹⁶ Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls `are' before Me continually.

¹⁸ Violence is not heard any more in thy land, Spoiling and destruction in thy borders, And thou hast called `Salvation' thy walls, And thy gates, `Praise.'

¹² Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers,

¹³ Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places, So that ye recount to a later generation,

⁹ and it hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out from Egypt;

¹⁰ and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

¹¹ having the glory of God, and her light `is' like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal,

¹² having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are `those' of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel,

¹³ at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates;

¹⁴ and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall;

¹⁶ and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed -- furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal;

¹⁷ and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger;

¹⁸ and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city `is' pure gold -- like to pure glass;

¹⁹ and the foundations of the wall of the city with every precious stone have been adorned; the first foundation jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

²¹ And the twelve gates `are' twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city `is' pure gold -- as transparent glass.

²³ In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I take thee, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And have set thee as a signet, for on thee I have fixed, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!

⁶ `On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.' O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves,

¹² And have made of agate thy pinnacles, And thy gates of carbuncle stones, And all thy border of stones of delight,

¹ In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: `We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.

⁶ Set me as a seal on thy heart, as a seal on thine arm, For strong as death is love, Sharp as Sheol is jealousy, Its burnings `are' burnings of fire, a flame of Jah!

²⁴ I live -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah Were a seal on My right hand, Surely thence I draw thee away,
