Isaiah 54:11 meaning and explanation
“O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.
Isaiah 54:11, Berean Standard Bible

The Hebrew word for antimony, pukh, names a dark mineral used in cosmetics and pigment, so the image is of stones set in dark mortar, contrasting with sapphire foundations.
