Future Blessings for Zion

1“Shout for joyH7442, O barren womanH6135, who bears no childrenH3808H3205; break forthH6476 in songH7440 and cry aloudH6670, you who have neverH3808 travailedH2342; becauseH3588 moreH7227 are the childrenH1121 of the desolate womanH8074 than of her who has a husbandH1166,”1 saysH559 the LORDH3068.2“EnlargeH7337 the siteH4725 of your tentH168, stretch outH5186 the curtainsH3407 of your dwellingsH4908, do notH408 hold backH2820. LengthenH748 your ropesH4340 and drive your stakes in deepH3489H2388.23ForH3588 you will spread outH6555 to the rightH3225 and leftH8040; your descendantsH2233 will dispossessH3423 the nationsH1471 and inhabitH3427 the desolateH8074 citiesH5892.

4Do notH408 be afraidH3372, forH3588 you will notH3808 be put to shameH954;do notH408 be intimidatedH3637, forH3588 you will notH3808 be humiliatedH2659.ForH3588 you will forgetH7911 the shameH1322 of your youthH5934and will rememberH2142 noH3808 moreH5750 the reproachH2781 of your widowhoodH491.5ForH3588 your husbandH1166 is your MakerH6213—the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 is His nameH8034—the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 is your RedeemerH1350;He is calledH7121 the GodH430 of allH3605 the earthH776.6ForH3588 the LORDH3068 has called you backH7121,like a wifeH802 desertedH5800 and woundedH6087 in spiritH7307,likeH3588 the rejectedH3988 wifeH802 of one’s youthH5271,”saysH559 your GodH430.
7“For a briefH6996 momentH7281 I forsook youH5800,but with greatH1419 compassionH7356 I will bring you backH6908.8In a surgeH8241 of angerH7110I hidH5641 My faceH6440 from youH4480 for a momentH7281,but with everlastingH5769 kindnessH2617 I will have compassion on youH7355,”saysH559 the LORDH3068 your RedeemerH1350.
9“ForH3588 to Me this is likeH2063 the days of NoahH4325H5146,3whenH834 I sworeH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146would never againH5750 coverH5674 the earthH776.SoH3651 I have swornH7650 that I will not be angryH7107 with youH5921or rebukeH1605 you.10ThoughH3588 the mountainsH2022 may be removedH4185and the hillsH1389 may be shakenH4131,My loving devotionH2617H854 will notH3808 depart from youH4185,and My covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 will notH3808 be brokenH4131,”saysH559 the LORDH3068, who has compassion on youH7355.
11“O afflicted cityH6041, lashed by stormsH5590,withoutH3808 solaceH5162,surelyH2009 IH595 will setH7257 your stonesH68 in antimonyH6320and lay your foundationsH3245 with sapphiresH5601.412I will makeH7760 your pinnaclesH8121 of rubiesH3539,your gatesH8179 of sparklingH688 jewelsH68,and allH3605 your wallsH1366 of preciousH2656 stonesH68.13Then allH3605 your sonsH1121 will be taughtH3928 by the LORDH3068,5and greatH7227 will be their prosperityH7965.14In righteousnessH6666 you will be establishedH3559,farH7368 from oppressionH6233,forH3588 you will have noH3808 fearH3372.TerrorH4288 will be far removed,forH3588 it will notH3808 come nearH7126 youH413.
15IfH2005 anyone attacks youH1481, it is notH657 from MeH853;whoeverH4310 assails youH1481H854 will fallH5307 before youH5921.16BeholdH2005, IH595 have createdH1254 the craftsmanH2796who fansH5301 the coalsH6352 into flameH784and forgesH3318 a weaponH3627 fit for its taskH4639;and IH595 have createdH1254 the destroyerH7843to wreak havocH2254.17NoH3605H3808 weaponH3627 formedH3335 against youH5921 shall prosperH6743,and you will refuteH7561 everyH3605 tongueH3956 that accusesH6965H4941 youH854.ThisH2063 is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LORDH3068,and their vindicationH6666 is from MeH854,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
