Chapter 54

1

SING, O barren, you that did not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you that did not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman, says Yahuah.

2

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations: spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes;

3

For you shall break forth on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall inherit the other nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4

Fear not; 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 shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.

5

For your Maker is your husband; Yahuah Tseva'oth is his name; and your Redeemer the Holy One of Yashar'el; The Elohai of the whole earth shall he be called.

6

For Yahuah has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in her ruach, and a woman of youth, when you were refused, says your Elohiym.

7

For a small moment have I forsaken you; but with great mercies will I gather you.

8

In a little wrath I hid my face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you, says Yahuah your Redeemer.

9

For this is as the waters of Noach unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noach should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with you, nor rebuke you.

10

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, says Yahuah that has mercy on you.

11

O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with fair colors, and lay your foundations with caphires.

12

And I will make your windows of agotes, and your gates of carbuncles, and all your borders of pleasant stones.

13

And all your children shall be taught of Yahuah; and great shall be the peace of your children.

14

In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near you.

15

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against you shall fall for your sake.

16

Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

17

No 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 Yahuah, and their righteousness is of me, says Yahuah.
