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.

Isaiah 54
54
The Fertile Wife of Yahweh
1“Sing for joy, barren woman; who has not borne!
Burst forth into rejoicing and rejoice, she who has not been in labor!
For the children of the desolate woman are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
2“Enlarge the site of your tent,
and let them stretch out the tent curtains of your dwelling place.
You must not spare; make your tent cords long
and strengthen your pegs,
3for you will spread out to the right and to the left.
And your descendants#Hebrew “descendant” will be heir to the nations,
and they will inhabit desolate towns.
4You must not fear, for you will not be ashamed,
and you must not be confounded, for you will not feel abashed,
for you will forget the shame of your youth,
and you will no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.
5For your husband#The Hebrew is plural is your maker,#The Hebrew is plural his name is Yahweh of hosts;
and your redeemer is the holy one of Israel, he is called the God of all of the earth.
6For Yahweh has called you like a wife forsaken and hurt of spirit,
like#Or “and” the wife of childhood when she is rejected, says your God.
7I abandoned you for a short#Literally “in a small” moment,
but#Or “and” I will gather you with great compassion.
8I hid my face from you for a moment, in the flowing of anger,
but#Or “and” I will have compassion on you with everlasting faithfulness” says your redeemer, Yahweh.
9“For this is like the waters of Noah to me,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass#Literally “from the passing over of the waters of Noah again” over the earth,
so I swore that I would not be#Literally “from being “ angry at you and rebuke you.
10For the mountains may depart,
and the hills may sway,
but#Or “and” my faithfulness shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace shall not sway,”
says Yahweh, who has compassion on you,
11“O afflicted one, driven away, who is not consoled.
Look! I am about to set your stones in hard mortar,
and I will lay your foundation with sapphires.
12And I will make#Literally “place” your battlements of ruby,
and your gates of stones of beryl,
and all your wall of precious stones.
13And all your children shall be pupils of Yahweh,
and the peace of your children shall be great.
14In righteousness you shall be established.
Be far from oppression, for you shall not fear,
and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15If indeed one attacks, it is not from me;
whoever attacks you shall fall because of you.
16Look! I myself have created the craftsman who blows#Or “blowing” the fire of coals,
and who produces#Or “producing” a weapon for his work;
also#Or “and” I myself have created the destroyer to destroy.
17Every weapon formed against you shall not succeed,
and you shall declare guilty every tongue that rises against you for judgment.
This is the inheritance of the servants of Yahweh,
and their legal right#Literally “justice” from me,”
declares#Literally “declaration of” Yahweh.
