Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: "Look! I [am] laying a stone in Zion, a {tested} stone, a precious cornerstone, a founded foundation: 'The one who trusts will not {panic}.'

Because you are precious in my eyes, you are honored, and I myself love you, and I give people in place of you, and nations in place of your life.

And I will {make} your battlements of ruby, and your gates of stones of beryl, and all your wall of precious stones.

{Our holy and beautiful temple}, where our ancestors praised you has {been burned} [by] fire, and all our precious objects have become ruins.
