Honest scales and balances are from the LORD; all the weights in the bag are His concern.

They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands.

“O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.

I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.

And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,

They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
