Isaiah 54:1-8

1“1Shout for joy, infertile one, you who have not given birth to any child; Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor; For the sons of the 2desolate one will be 3more numerous Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.2“4Enlarge the place of your tent; 5Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not spare them; Lengthen your 6ropes And strengthen your 7pegs.3For you will 8spread out to the right and to the left. And your 9descendants will 10possess nations And will 11resettle the desolate cities.

4“Fear not, for you will 12not be put to shame; And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced; But you will forget the 13shame of your youth, And no longer remember the 14disgrace of your widowhood.5For your 15husband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of armies; And your 16Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the 17God of all the earth.6For the Lord has called you, Like a wife 18forsaken and grieved in spirit, Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,” Says your God.7“19For a 20brief moment I abandoned you, But with great compassion I will 21gather you.8In an 2223outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, But with everlasting 24favor I will 25have compassion on you,” Says the Lord your 26Redeemer.
