Isaiah 54

Isaiah 54
1¶ Rejoice, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud with joy, thou that didst not travail with child: for more shall be the sons of the desolate than the sons of the married wife, said the Lord.
2Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5For thy Maker shall be thine husband; the Lord of the hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6¶ For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit has the Lord called thee, and as a young woman who is put away, said thy God.
7For a small moment I have forsaken thee; but with great mercies I will gather thee.
8In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with eternal mercy I will have compassion on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.
9For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so I have sworn that I would not be wroth again with thee, nor reprehend thee.
10For the mountains shall be removed, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be changed, said the Lord that has mercy on thee.
11¶ O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will cement thy stones upon carbuncle and lay thy foundations upon sapphires.
12And I will make thy windows of precious stones, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of stones of great price.
13And all thy sons shall be taught of the Lord; and the peace of thy sons shall be multiplied.
14With righteousness shalt thou be adorned: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear it; and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
15If anyone should conspire against thee, it shall be without me, whosoever would conspire against thee shall fall before thee.
16Behold, I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth the instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the slaves of the Lord, and their justice from me, said the Lord.

Future Blessings for Zion
1“Shout for joy, O barren woman,
who bears no children;
break forth in song and cry aloud,
you who have never travailed;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband,”#54:1 Cited in Galatians 4:27
says the Lord.
2“Enlarge the site of your tent,
stretch out the curtains of your dwellings,
do not hold back.
Lengthen your ropes
and drive your stakes in deep.#54:2 Or and strengthen your stakes
3For you will spread out to the right and left;
your descendants will dispossess the nations
and inhabit the desolate cities.
4Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame;
do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated.
For you will forget the shame of your youth
and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5For your husband is your Maker—
the Lord of Hosts is His name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
He is called the God of all the earth.
6For the Lord has called you back,
like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit,
like the rejected wife of one’s youth,”
says your God.
7“For a brief moment I forsook you,
but with great compassion I will bring you back.
8In a surge of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord your Redeemer.
9“For to Me this is like the days of Noah,#54:9 Some manuscripts For this is like the waters of Noah
when I swore that the waters of Noah
would never again cover the earth.
So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
or rebuke you.
10Though the mountains may be removed
and the hills may be shaken,
My loving devotion will not depart from you,
and My covenant of peace will not be broken,”
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.
11“O afflicted city, lashed by storms,
without solace,
surely I will set your stones in antimony
and lay your foundations with sapphires.#54:11 Or lapis lazuli
12I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
your gates of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.
13Then all your sons will be taught by the Lord,#54:13 Cited in John 6:45
and great will be their prosperity.
14In righteousness you will be established,
far from oppression,
for you will have no fear.
Terror will be far removed,
for it will not come near you.
15If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me;
whoever assails you will fall before you.
16Behold, I have created the craftsman
who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon fit for its task;
and I have created the destroyer
to wreak havoc.
17No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their vindication is from Me,”
declares the Lord.
