Isaiah 54:11
Douay-Rheims
O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires,
Ibn Ezra
סוערה Tempestuous; comp. סוער (Jon. 1:11); or Tossed with tempest. Jerusalem is meant. פוך A precious stone of black colour. Some think that it is the same as נפך, an emerald (Ex. 28:18). Thy stones, which will be required for the building. ספירים Sapphires. Precious stones of red colour, as I have explained (Lam. 4:7)
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
