Chapter 54

1


 

  Give praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For thou shalt pass on to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate cities.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.  

 

 

--

5


 

  For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.  

 

 

--

6


 

  For the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and mourning in spirit, end se a wife cast off from her youth, said thy God.  

 

 

--

7


 

  For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.  

 

 

--

8


 

  In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.  

 

 

--

9


 

  This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee.  

 

 

--

10


 

  For the mountains shall be moved, and the hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.  

 

 

--

11


 

  O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations with sapphires,  

 

 

--

12


 

  And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones.  

 

 

--

13


 

  All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and great shall be the peace of thy children.  

 

 

--

14


 

  And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Behold, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have created the killer to destroy.  

 

 

--

17


 

  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper: and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith the Lord.
