Isaiah 54

American Standard Version

1SingH7442, O barrenH6135, thou that didst not bearH3205; breakH6476 forthH3205 into singing, and cryH7440 aloudH7442, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolateH8074 than the children of the marriedH1166 wife, saith Jehovah. 2EnlargeH7337 the placeH4725 of thy tentH168, and let them stretchH5186 forth the curtainsH3407 of thy habitations; spare not: lengthen thy cordsH4340, and strengthenH2388 thy stakes. 3For thou shalt spreadH6555 abroad on the rightH3225 handH3225 and on the left; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the nationsH1471, and makeH8074 the desolateH8074 citiesH5892 to be inhabitedH3427.

4FearH3372 not; for thou shalt not be ashamedH954: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be putH954 to shameH954: for thou shalt forgetH7911 the shameH954 of thy youthH5934; and the reproachH2781 of thy widowhoodH491 shalt thou rememberH2142 no more. 5For thy Maker is thy husbandH1166; Jehovah of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: and the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 is thy RedeemerH1350; the GodH430 of the whole earthH776 shall he be calledH7121. 6For Jehovah hath calledH7121 thee as a wifeH802 forsaken and grieved in spiritH7307, even a wifeH802 of youthH5271, when she is cast off, saith thy GodH430. 7For a smallH6996 momentH7281 have I forsaken thee; but with greatH1419 mercies will I gatherH6908 thee. 8In overflowing wrathH7110 I hidH5641 my faceH6440 from thee for a momentH7281; but with everlasting lovingkindness will I have mercyH7355 on thee, saith Jehovah thy RedeemerH1350.

9For this isasthe watersH4325 of NoahH5146 unto me; for as I have swornH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 shall no more go over the earthH776, soH3651 have I swornH7650 that I will not be wroth with thee, nor rebukeH1605 thee. 10For the mountainsH2022 may departH4185, and the hillsH1389 be removedH4185; but my lovingkindness shall not departH4185 from thee, neither shall my covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 be removedH4185, saith Jehovah that hath mercyH7355 on thee.

11O thou afflictedH6041, tossed with tempest, and not comfortedH5162, behold, I will set thy stonesH68 in fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphiresH5601. 12And I will makeH7760 thy pinnacles of rubiesH3539, and thy gatesH8179 of carbuncles, and all thy borderH1366 of precious stonesH68. 13And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and greatH7227 shall be the peaceH7965 of thy children. 14In righteousnessH6666 shalt thou be establishedH3559: thou shalt be farH7368 from oppressionH6233, for thou shalt not fearH3372; and from terrorH4288, for it shall not come near thee. 15Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fallH5307 because of thee. 16Behold, I have createdH1254 the smith that bloweth the fireH784 of coals, and bringeth forthH3318 a weaponH3627 for his workH4639; and I have createdH1254 the waster to destroyH7843. 17No weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 against thee shall prosperH6743; and every tongueH3956 that shall riseH6965 against thee in judgmentH4941 thou shalt condemnH7561. This is the heritage of the servantsH5650 of Jehovah, and their righteousnessH6666 which is of me, saith Jehovah.
