2 Bible Verses about Gems

the foundations of the citywall were embellished with all manner of precious stones. the first foundation was of jasper; the second, of sapphire; the third, of chalcedony; the fourth, of an emerald; the fifth, of sardonyx; the sixth, of sardius; the seventh, of chrysolite; the eighth, of beryl; the ninth, of a topaz; the tenth, of a chrysoprasus; the elventh, of a jacinth; the twelfth, of an amethyst. the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each single gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as splendid as glass.

for no one can lay any other foundation, than what is laid, which is, that Jesus is the Messias. now if upon this foundation somebody builds gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble: he that builds such work, will be expos'd. for the time of tryal will show it: it shall be discovered by the fire, which will put each sort of work to the test.
