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
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.
