← Revelation 21:16	Revelation 21:17 (KJV)	Revelation 21:18 →
And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.	And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.	And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass.
