16
For Jerusalem will be built with sapphires and emeralds, her walls with precious stones, and her towers and battlements with pure gold.
17
The streets of Jerusalem will be paved with beryl and ruby and stones of Ophir;
18
all her lanes will cry `Hallelujah!' and will give praise, saying, `Blessed is God, who has exalted you for ever.'"
