30:18 The Lord says,
“I will restore the ruined houses of the descendants of Jacob.
I will show compassion on their ruined homes. 4
Every city will be rebuilt on its former ruins. 5
Every fortified dwelling will occupy its traditional site. 6
51:18 Because you favor Zion, do what is good for her! 9
Fortify 10 the walls of Jerusalem! 11
69:35 For God will deliver Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah,
and his people 12 will again live in them and possess Zion. 13
9:11 “In that day I will rebuild the collapsing hut 14 of David.
I will seal its 15 gaps,
repair its 16 ruins,
and restore it to what it was like in days gone by. 17
15:16 ‘After this 18 I 19 will return,
and I will rebuild the fallen tent 20 of David;
I will rebuild its ruins and restore 21 it,
21:15 The angel 41 who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall. 21:16 Now 42 the city is laid out as a square, 43 its length and width the same. He 44 measured the city with the measuring rod 45 at fourteen hundred miles 46 (its length and width and height are equal). 21:17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits 47 according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s. 48 21:18 The city’s 49 wall is made 50 of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass. 51 21:19 The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated 52 with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, 53 the fourth emerald, 21:20 the fifth onyx, 54 the sixth carnelian, 55 the seventh chrysolite, 56 the eighth beryl, 57 the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, 58 the eleventh jacinth, 59 and the twelfth amethyst. 21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls – each one of the gates is made from just one pearl! The 60 main street 61 of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
21:22 Now 62 I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God – the All-Powerful 63 – and the Lamb are its temple. 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb. 21:24 The nations 64 will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur 65 into it. 21:25 Its gates will never be closed during the day 66 (and 67 there will be no night there). 68 21:26 They will bring the grandeur and the wealth 69 of the nations 70 into it, 21:27 but 71 nothing ritually unclean 72 will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable 73 or practices falsehood, 74 but only those whose names 75 are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
