Read in KJV Bible Reader

Isaiah 54:11. O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, -

Where art thou? Hast thou come in here to seek the consolation thou canst not find anywhere else? Then see how God lays himself out to comfort thee; he has put into human language the true sympathy for thee that he feels in his heart; and again he says to thee, "O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted," -

Isaiah 54:11. Behold, I will lay thy stone, with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

Thou shalt have done with the rough tossing of the troubled sea; and thou shalt come to land, - to a royal city which hath foundations of sapphire, - to a king’s palace where even the stones shall be stained with rich vermilion such as only princes use in their costly buildings: "I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires."
