Isaiah 54
54
A Perpetual Covenant of Peace
1“Sing, O #Gal. 4:27barren,
You who have not borne!
Break forth into singing, and cry aloud,
You who have not labored with child!
For more are the children of the desolate
Than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord.
2“Enlarge#Is. 49:19, 20 the place of your tent,
And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare;
Lengthen your cords,
And strengthen your stakes.
3For you shall expand to the right and to the left,
And your descendants will #Is. 14:2; 49:22, 23; 60:9inherit the nations,
And make the desolate cities inhabited.
4“Do#Is. 41:10 not fear, for you will not be ashamed;
Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame;
For you will forget the shame of your youth,
And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.
5#Jer. 3:14; Hos. 2:19For your Maker is your husband,
The Lord of hosts is His name;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He is called #Zech. 14:9; Rom. 3:29the God of the whole earth.
6For the Lord #Is. 62:4has called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
Says your God.
7“For#Ps. 30:5; Is. 26:20; 60:10; 2 Cor. 4:17 a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies #(Is. 43:5; 56:8)I will gather you.
8With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
#Is. 55:3; Jer. 31:3But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9“For this is like the waters of #Gen. 8:21; 9:11; (2 Pet. 3:6, 7)Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with #Is. 12:1; Ezek. 39:29you, nor rebuke you.
10For #Ps. 46:2; Is. 51:6; Matt. 5:18the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
#2 Sam. 23:5; Ps. 89:33, 34; Is. 55:3; 59:21; 61:8But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
11“O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with #1 Chr. 29:2; Job 28:16; Rev. 21:18, 19colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
13All your children shall be #Jer. 31:34; (John 6:45; 1 Cor. 2:10); 1 Thess. 4:9; (1 John 2:20)taught by the Lord,
And #Ps. 119:165great shall be the peace of your children.
14In 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.
15Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall #Is. 41:11–16fall for your sake.
16“Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
17No weapon formed against you shall #Is. 17:12–14; 29:8prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
#Is. 45:24, 25; 54:14And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 54
54
1“Sing, O barren one, you who did not bear! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not been in labour! For the children of the deserted one are more than the children of the married woman,” said יהוה.
2“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not. Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3“For you shall break forth to the right and to the left, and your seed inherit the nations, and make the deserted cities inhabited.
4“Do not fear, for you shall not be put to shame, nor hurt, you shall not be humiliated. For the shame of your youth you shall forget, and not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.
5“For your Maker is your husband, יהוה of hosts is His Name, and the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl is your Redeemer. He is called the Elohim of all the earth.
6“For יהוה has called you like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth when you were refused,” declares your Elohim.
7“For a little while I have forsaken you, but with great compassion I shall gather you.
8“In an overflow of wrath I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving-commitment I shall have compassion on you,” said יהוה, your Redeemer.
9“For this is the waters of Noaḥ to Me, in that I have sworn that the waters of Noaḥ would never again cover the earth, so have I sworn not to be wroth with you, nor to rebuke you.
10“For though the mountains be removed and the hills be shaken, My loving-commitment is not removed from you, nor is My covenant of peace shaken,” said יהוה, who has compassion on you.
11“O you afflicted one, tossed with storm, and not comforted, see, I am setting your stones in antimony, and shall lay your foundations with sapphires,
12and shall make your battlements of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones,
13and all your children taught by יהוה, and the peace of your children great.
14“In righteousness you shall be established – far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and far from ruin, for it does not come near you.
15“See, they shall indeed assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever shall assemble against you falls for your sake!
16“See, I Myself have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, who brings forth an instrument for his work. And I have created the waster to destroy.
17“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall prove wrong. This is the inheritance of the servants of יהוה, and their righteousness from Me,” declares יהוה.
