541“Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth;break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child:for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says Yahweh.+2“Enlarge the place of your tent,and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations;don’t spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.+3For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left;and your offspring will possess the nations,and settle in desolate cities.+4“Don’t be afraid; for you will not be ashamed.Don’t be confounded; for you will not be disappointed.For you will forget the shame of your youth;and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more.+5For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name.The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.He will be called the God of the whole earth.+6For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.+7“For a small moment I have forsaken you;but with great mercies will I gather you.+8In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment;but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.+9“For this is like the waters of Noah to me;for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth,so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.+10For the mountains may depart,and the hills be removed;but my loving kindness will not depart from you,and my covenant of peace will not be removed,”says Yahweh who has mercy on you.+11“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted,behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors,and lay your foundations with sapphires.+12I will make your pinnacles of rubies,your gates of sparkling jewels,and all your walls of precious stones.+13All your children will be taught by Yahweh;and your children’s peace will be great.+14In righteousness you will be established.You will be far from oppression,for you will not be afraid;and far from terror,for it shall not come near you.+15Behold, they may gather together, but not by me.Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.+16“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame,and forges a weapon for his work;and I have created the destroyer to destroy.+17No weapon that is formed against you will prevail;and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment.This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants,and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.+Footnotes (1)
