Greek text · Dindorf 4:469

“ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἑτοιμάζω σοι ἄνθρακα τὸν λίθον σου, καὶ τὰ θεμέλιά σου σάπφειρον, καὶ τὰς ἐπάλξεις σου ἴασπιν, καὶ τὰς πύλας σου λίθους κρυστάλλου, καὶ τὸν περίβολόν σου λίθους ἐκλεκτοὺς, καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱούς σου διδακτοὺς θεοῦ, καὶ ἐν πολλῇ εἰρήνη τὰ τέκνα σου· καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ οἰκοδομηθήσῃ.”

English · Claude translation

“Behold, I am preparing for you carbuncle as your stone, and sapphire as your foundations, and jasper as your battlements, and your gates of crystal stones, and your wall of choice stones; and all your sons taught of God, and your children in great peace; and in righteousness you shall be built.”
