Isaiah 54

1 Shout for joy O barren [woman] [who] not she has given birth break forth a shout of joy and cry aloud O [one who] not she has been in labor for [are] many [the] children of a desolate [woman] more than [the] children of a married [woman] he says Yahweh.

SING, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.

2 Enlarge - [the] place of tent your and [the] tent curtains of dwellings your may people stretch out may not you refrain make long tent cords your and tent pegs your make strong.

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

3 For right and left you will spread out and offspring your nations he will take possession of and cities desolated they will cause to be inhabited.

For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 May not you be afraid for not you will be put to shame and may not you be ashamed for not you will display shame for [the] shame of youth your you will forget and [the] reproach of widowhood your not you will remember again.

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5 That husband your [is] maker your [is] Yahweh of hosts name his and [is] redeemer your [the] holy [one] of Israel [the] God of all the earth he is called.

For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6 For like a wife abandoned and grieved of spirit he will call you Yahweh and a wife of youth if she is rejected he says God your.

For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 For a moment small I abandoned you and in compassion great I will gather you.

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

8 In a flood of wrath I hid face my a moment from you and in covenant loyalty of perpetuity I will have compassion on you he says redeemer your Yahweh.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

9 For [is] [the] water of Noah this to me which I swore from passing [the] waters of Noah again over the earth so I swear from being angry towards you and from rebuking you.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 That the mountains they will be removed and the hills they will shake and covenant loyalty my from with you not it will be removed and [the] covenant of peace my not it will shake he says [one who] has compassion on you Yahweh.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

11 O afflicted [one] it is storm tossed not it has been comforted here! I [am] about to set in antimony stones your and I will refound you with sapphires.

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make ruby battlements your and gates your stones of beryl and all border your stones of delight.

And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 And all children your [will be] taught of Yahweh and [will be] great [the] peace of children your.

And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

14 In righteousness you will be established be distant from oppression for not you will be afraid and from terror for not it will draw near to you.

In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

15 There! certainly anyone will quarrel not from me whoever [is] quarreling with you on you he will fall.

Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16 (Here! *Q(K)*) I I created a craftsman [who] blows on a fire of charcoal and [who] produces a weapon for work its and I I created a destroyer to ruin.

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

17 Any weapon [which] it will be formed on you not it will succeed and every tongue [which] it will arise with you to judgment you will condemn as guilty this [is] [the] inheritance of [the] servants of Yahweh and righteousness their from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh.

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
