Revelation 21:19

17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

19 ^aThe foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

21 The twelve gates were twelve ^apearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. ^bAnd the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

The Glory of the New Jerusalem

22 ^aBut I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
