Isaiah 54:11
Douay-Rheims

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
not comforted--by anyone; none gave her help or comfort. lay . . . with fair colours--rather, "lay . . . in cement of vermilion" [LOWTH]. The Hebrew for "fair colors" means stibium, the paint with which Eastern women painted their eyelids and eyelashes (Kg2 9:30). The very cement shall be of the most beautiful color (Rev 21:18-21).
