◄ ISA 54 ► ║ ©

54 “Sing for joy, barren woman who has not given birth;

break into joyful song and rejoice, who has not been in labor.

For the children of the desolate one are more

than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.

2 “Broaden the place for your tent

and spread out the tent-curtains of your dwelling, without restraint;

lengthen your ropes,

and strengthen your stakes.

3 For you will spread out to the right hand and to the left,

and your seed will conquer nations

and settle desolate cities.

4 Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed,

and you will not be discouraged, for you will not be disgraced;

for you will forget the shame of your youth

and the disgrace of your abandonment you will remember no more. 5 For your Maker is your husband;

Yahweh of hosts is his name.

And the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;

he is called the God of all the earth.

6 For as a wife abandoned and grieved in spirit

Yahweh has called you back,

and a wife of youth that is rejected,”

says your God.

7 “For a short time I abandoned you,

but with great compassion I shall gather you.

8 In a flood of anger I hid my face from you momentarily;

but with everlasting covenant faithfulness I will have mercy on you—

says your Redeemer, Yahweh.

9 “For this is like the waters of Noah to me:

as I swore to keep the waters of Noah from passing over the earth again,

so have I sworn

from being angry with you or rebuking you.

10 Though the mountains may fall

and the hills be shaken,

yet my covenant faithfulness will not turn away from you,

and my covenant of peace will not be shaken,”—

says Yahweh, who has mercy on you.

11 “Afflicted one, storm-driven, without comfort:

behold, I will set your pavement in turquoise,

and lay your foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make your ramparts rubies

and your gates from stones of beryl,

and all your walls from precious stones.

13 And all your sons will be disciples of Yahweh,

and great the peace of your sons.

14 In righteousness you will be established,

keep far from oppression that you will not fear;

and from terror that it will not come near to you.

15 Behold, no attacker will attack besides from me;

he who attacks you will fall before you.

16 “Behold, I have created the craftsman,

who blows the burning coals

and produces weapons as his work,

and it is I who created the destroyer to destroy.

17 All the weapons formed against you will not succeed,

and all the tongues rising against you for judgment, you will prove guilty.

This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh,

and their vindication from me”—the declaration of Yahweh.
