1“1ShoutH7442 for joyH7442, O barrenH6135 oneH6135, you who have borneH3205 noH3808 child; BreakH6476 forthH6476 into joyfulH7440 shoutingH7440 and cryH6670 aloudH6670, you who have not travailedH2342; For the sonsH1121 of the 2desolateH8074 one will be 3moreH4480 numerousH7227 ThanH4480 the sonsH1121 of the marriedH1166 woman,” saysH559 the LordH3068.2“4EnlargeH7337 the placeH4725 of your tentH168; 5StretchH5186 out the curtainsH3407 of your dwellingsH4908, spareH2820 not; LengthenH748 your 6cordsH4340 And strengthenH2388 your 7pegsH3489.3For you will 8spreadH6555 abroadH6555 to the rightH3225 and to the leftH8040. And your 9descendantsH2233 will 10possessH3423 nationsH1471 And will 11resettleH3427 the desolateH8074 citiesH5892.

4“FearH3372 not, for you will 12not be putH954 to shameH954; And do not feelH3637 humiliatedH3637, for you will not be disgracedH2659; But you will forgetH7911 the 13shameH1322 of your youthH5934, And the 14reproachH2781 of your widowhoodH491 you will rememberH2142 noH3808 moreH5750.5For your 15husbandH1166 is your MakerH6213, Whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068 of hostsH6635; And your 16RedeemerH1350 is the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Who is calledH7121 the 17GodH430 of allH3605 the earthH776.6For the LordH3068 has calledH7121 you, Like a wifeH802 18forsakenH5800 and grievedH6087 in spiritH7307, Even like a wifeH802 of one’s youthH5271 whenH3588 she is rejectedH3988,” SaysH559 your GodH430.7“19For a 20briefH6996 momentH7281 I forsookH5800 you, But with greatH1419 compassionH7356 I will 21gatherH6908 you.8In an 2223outburstH7858 of angerH7110 I hidH5641 My faceH6440 from you for a momentH7281, But with everlastingH5769 24lovingkindnessH2617 I will 25haveH7355 compassionH7355 on you,” SaysH559 the LordH3068 your 26RedeemerH1350.

9“For 27thisH2088 is like the daysH3117 of NoahH5146 to Me, WhenH834 I sworeH7650 that the watersH4325 of NoahH5146 Would 28not 29floodH5674 the earthH776 againH5750; SoH3651 I have swornH7650 that I will 30not be angryH7107 with you NorH4480 will I rebukeH1605 you.10For the 31mountainsH2022 may be removedH4185 and the hillsH1389 may shakeH4131, But My lovingkindnessH2617 will not be removedH4185 from you, And My 32covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 will not be shakenH4131,” SaysH559 33the LordH3068 who hasH7355 compassionH7355 on you.

11“O 34afflictedH6041 oneH6041, storm-tossedH5590, and 35not comfortedH5162, BeholdH2009, I will setH7257 your stonesH68 in antimonyH6320, And your foundationsH3245 I will 36layH3245 in 3738sapphiresH5601.12Moreover, I will makeH7760 your battlementsH8121 of 39rubiesH3539, And your gatesH8179 of 40crystalH688, And your entireH3605 41wallH1366 of preciousH2656 stonesH68.1342AllH3605 your sonsH1121 will be 43taughtH3928 of the LordH3068; And the well-beingH7965 of your sonsH1121 will be 44greatH7227.14In 45righteousnessH6666 you will be establishedH3559; You will be farH7368 from 46oppressionH6233, for you will 47not fearH3372; And from 48terrorH4288, for it will not comeH7126 nearH7126 you.15IfH2005 anyone fiercelyH1481 assailsH1481 you it will not be from Me. 49WhoeverH4310 assailsH1481 you will fallH5307 becauseH5921 of you.16BeholdH2005, I MyselfH595 have createdH1254 the smithH2796 who blowsH5301 the fireH784 of coalsH6352 And bringsH3318 out a weaponH3627 for its workH4639; And I have createdH1254 the destroyerH7843 to ruinH2254.1750NoH3605H3808 weaponH3627 that is formedH3335 againstH5921 you will prosperH6743; And 51everyH3605 tongueH3956 that 52accusesH6965 you in judgmentH4941 you will condemnH7561. ThisH2088 is the heritageH5159 of the servantsH5650 of the LordH3068, And their 53vindicationH6666 is from Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
