Isaiah 54
54
The Covenant of Peace
1#1Sa 2:5; Gal 4:27 Sing, O barren,
you who did not bear a child.
Break forth into singing and cry aloud,
you who did not travail with child.
For more are the children of the desolate
than the children of the married wife,
says the Lord.
2#Isa 49:19–20; Ex 35:18 Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations;
spare not,
lengthen your cords,
and strengthen your stakes.
3#Isa 43:5–6 For you shall spread out to the right hand and to the left,
and your descendants shall inherit the nations
and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4#Jer 31:19 Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed nor be humiliated;
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#Jer 3:14; Zec 14:9 For your Maker is your husband,
the Lord of Hosts is His name;
and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He shall be called the God of the whole earth.
6#Isa 62:4 For the Lord has called you
as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
and a wife of youth
when you were refused, says your God.
7#Isa 26:20 For a small moment I have forsaken you,
but with great mercies I will gather you.
8#Isa 54:5; 55:3 In a little wrath
I hid My face from you for a moment;
but with everlasting kindness
I will have mercy on you,
says the Lord your Redeemer.
9#Ge 8:21; Isa 12:1 For this is as the waters of Noah to Me;
for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no longer cover the earth,
so I have sworn that I would not be wrathful with you
nor rebuke you.
10#2Sa 23:5; Ps 46:2 For the mountains may be removed,
and the hills may shake,
but My kindness shall not depart from you,
nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,
says the Lord who has mercy on you.
11#1Ch 29:2 O afflicted one, tossed with tempest and not comforted,
I will lay your stones with fair colors
and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12I will make your windows of agates,
and your gates of crystal,
and all your borders of precious stones.
13#Jn 6:45; Isa 48:18 All your sons shall be taught of the Lord,
and great shall be the peace of your sons.
14#Isa 1:26 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.
15Indeed they shall surely assail you fiercely, but not from Me.
Whoever assails you shall fall for your sake.
16See, I have created the smith
that blows the coals in the fire
and who brings forth an instrument for his work;
and I have created the destroyer in order to cause ruin.
17#Isa 50:8 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 the Lord,
and their vindication is from Me,
says 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.
