Context of Isaiah 54:5
3For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left. And your descendants will possess nations And will resettle the desolate cities. 4“Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more. For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of hosts; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the God of all the earth. 6For the Lord has called you, Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,” Says your God. 7“For a brief moment I forsook you, But with great compassion I will gather you.

Commentaries on Isaiah 54:5
