54:1 "Sing,
O
barren
one,
who
did
not
bear;
break
forth
into
singing
and
cry
aloud,
you
who
have
not
been
in
labor!
For
the
children
of
the
desolate
one
will
be
more
than
the
children
of
her
who
is
married,"
says
the
LORD.
54:2 "Enlarge
the
place
of
your
tent,
and
let
the
curtains
of
your
habitations
be
stretched
out;
do
not
hold
back;
lengthen
your
cords
and
strengthen
your
stakes.
54:3 For
you
will
spread
abroad
to
the
right
and
to
the
left,
and
your
offspring
will
possess
the
nations
and
will
people
the
desolate
cities.
54:4 "Fear
not,
for
you
will
not
be
ashamed;
be
not
confounded,
for
you
will
not
be
disgraced;
for
you
will
forget
the
shame
of
your
youth,
and
the
reproach
of
your
widowhood
you
will
remember
no
more.
54:5 For
your
Maker
is
your
husband,
the
LORD
of
hosts
is
his
name;
and
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
is
your
Redeemer,
the
God
of
the
whole
earth
he
is
called.
54:6 For
the
LORD
has
called
you
like
a
wife
deserted
and
grieved
in
spirit,
like
a
wife
of
youth
when
she
is
cast
off,
says
your
God.
54:7 For
a
brief
moment
I
deserted
you,
but
with
great
compassion
I
will
gather
you.
54:8 In
overflowing
anger
for
a
moment
I
hid
my
face
from
you,
but
with
everlasting
love
I
will
have
compassion
on
you,"
says
the
LORD,
your
Redeemer.
54:9 "This
is
like
the
days
of
Noah
to
me:
as
I
swore
that
the
waters
of
Noah
should
no
more
go
over
the
earth,
so
I
have
sworn
that
I
will
not
be
angry
with
you,
and
will
not
rebuke
you.
54:10 For
the
mountains
may
depart
and
the
hills
be
removed,
but
my
steadfast
love
shall
not
depart
from
you,
and
my
covenant
of
peace
shall
not
be
removed,"
says
the
LORD,
who
has
compassion
on
you.
54:11 "O
afflicted
one,
storm-tossed
and
not
comforted,
behold,
I
will
set
your
stones
in
antimony,
and
lay
your
foundations
with
sapphires.
54:12 I
will
make
your
pinnacles
of
agate,
your
gates
of
carbuncles,
and
all
your
wall
of
precious
stones.
54:13 All
your
children
shall
be
taught
by
the
LORD,
and
great
shall
be
the
peace
of
your
children.
54:14 In
righteousness
you
shall
be
established;
you
shall
be
far
from
oppression,
for
you
shall
not
fear;
and
from
terror,
for
it
shall
not
come
near
you.
54:15 If
anyone
stirs
up
strife,
it
is
not
from
me;
whoever
stirs
up
strife
with
you
shall
fall
because
of
you.
54:16 Behold,
I
have
created
the
smith
who
blows
the
fire
of
coals
and
produces
a
weapon
for
its
purpose.
I
have
also
created
the
ravager
to
destroy;
54:17 no
weapon
that
is
fashioned
against
you
shall
succeed,
and
you
shall
confute
every
tongue
that
rises
against
you
in
judgment.
This
is
the
heritage
of
the
servants
of
the
LORD
and
their
vindication
from
me,
declares
the
LORD."
