The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
54: 1Sing, barren, you who didn't bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not
travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,
says Yahweh. 54:2Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your
habitations; don't spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. 54:3For you shall spread
aboard on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall possess the nations, and make the
desolate cities to be inhabited. 54:4Don't be afraid; for you shall not be ashamed: neither be
confounded; for you shall not be put to shame: for you shall forget the shame of your youth; and
the reproach of your widowhood shall you remember no more. 54:5For your Maker is your husband;
Yahweh of Hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole
earth shall he be called. 54:6For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,
even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, says your God. 54:7For a small moment have I forsaken
you; but with great mercies will I gather you. 54:8In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a
moment; but with everlasting lovingkindness will I have mercy on you, says Yahweh your
Redeemer. 54:9For this is as the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah
shall no more go over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
54:10For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my lovingkindness shall not
depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, says Yahweh who has mercy on
you. 54:11you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in
beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires. 54:12I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
and your gates of emeralds, and all your border of precious stones. 54:13All your children shall be
taught of Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children. 54:14In righteousness shall you be
established: you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it
shall not come near you. 54:15Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather
together against you shall fall because of you. 54:16Behold, I have created the smith who blows the
fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
54:17No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you
in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their
righteousness which is of me, says Yahweh.
