Isaiah 54
54
Your Husband is Your Maker
1“Sing, barren one, who has not given birth. burst into singing and shout, you who have not travailed. For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married one,” says Adonai.
2“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch out your tabernacle curtains. Do not hold back— lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.
3For you will spread out to the right hand and to the left. Your offspring will possess the nations and will resettle the desolate cities.
4Fear not, for you will not be ashamed. Nor cringe, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and you will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
5For your Maker is your husband —Adonai-Tzva’ot is His Name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called God of all the earth.
6“For Adonai has called you back like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit, like a wife of one’s youth that is rejected,” says your God.
7“For a brief moment I deserted you, but I will regather you with great compassion.
8In a surge of anger I hid My face from you a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says Adonai your Redeemer.
9“For this is like the waters of Noah to Me: for as I swore that the waters of Noah should no more cover the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor will I rebuke you.
10Though the mountains depart and the hills be shaken, My love will not depart from you, nor will My covenant of peace be shaken, says Adonai who has compassion on you.
11Afflicted one, storm-tossed, unconsoled, behold, I set your stones in antimony, lay your foundations with sapphires,
12make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of crystal, and all your walls of precious stones.
13All your children will be taught by Adonai. Your children will have great shalom.
No Weapon Formed Against You
14“In righteousness you will be established. You will be far from oppression —for you will not fear— and from terror— for it will not come near you.
15Behold, anyone fiercely attacking is not from Me. Whoever stirs up strife with you will fall because of you.
16Behold, I created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its work, and I created the destroyer to ruin.
17No weapon formed against you will prosper and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Adonai’s servants— their vindication is from Me.” It is a declaration of Adonai.

Isaiah 54
54
CHAPTER 54
1Thou barren, that childest not, praise; thou that childest not, sing praising, and make joy; for why many sons be of the forsaken, more than of her that had [the] husband, saith the Lord.
2Alarge thou the place of thy tent, and stretch forth the skins of thy tabernacles; spare thou not, make long thy ropes, and make firm thy nails.
3For thou shalt pierce to the right side and to the left side; and thy seed shall inherit heathen men, and shall dwell in forsaken cities.
4Do not thou dread, for thou shalt not be shamed, neither thou shalt be ashamed. For it shall not shame thee; for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and thou shalt no more think on the shame of thy widowhood.
5For he that made thee, shall be lord of thee; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thine again-buyer, the Holy of Israel, shall be called God of all earth.
6For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, and a wife, that is cast away from youth. Thy Lord God said,
7At a point in little time, I forsook thee, and I shall gather thee together in great merciful doings.
8In a moment of indignation I hid my face a little from thee, and in mercy everlasting I had mercy on thee, said thine again-buyer, the Lord.
9As in the days of Noah, this thing is to me, to whom I swore, that I should no more bring waters of the great flood on the earth; so I swore, that I shall be no more wroth to thee, and that I blame not thee.
10Forsooth hills [or mountains] shall be moved together, and little hills shall tremble together; but my mercy shall not go away from thee, and the bond of my peace shall not be moved, saith the merciful doer, the Lord.
11Thou little and poor, drawn out by tempest, without any comfort, lo! I shall strew thy stones by order, and I shall found thee in sapphires;
12and I shall set jasper thy towers, and thy gates into engraved stones, and all thine ends into desirable stones.
13 And I shall set all thy sons taught of the Lord; and the multitude of peace to thy sons,
14and thou shalt be founded in rightfulness [or rightwiseness]. Go thou away far from false challenge, for thou shalt not dread; and from dread, for it shall not nigh to thee.
15Lo! a stranger shall come, that was not with me; he, that was some-time thy comeling, shall be joined to thee.
16Lo! I made a smith blowing coals in [the] fire, and bringing forth a vessel into his work; and I have made a slayer, for to lose.
17Each vessel which is made against thee, shall not be addressed; and in the doom thou shalt deem each tongue against-standing thee. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and the rightfulness [or rightwiseness] of them at me, saith the Lord.
