Context of Isaiah 54:5

3For you will spread out to the right hand and to the left. Your offspring will possess the nations and will resettle the desolate cities. 4Fear not, for you will not be ashamed. Nor cringe, for you will not be disgraced. For you will forget the shame of your youth, and you will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more. For your Maker is your husband —Adonai-Tzva’ot is His Name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called God of all the earth. 6“For Adonai has called you back like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit, like a wife of one’s youth that is rejected,” says your God. 7“For a brief moment I deserted you, but I will regather you with great compassion.
