Isaiah 54:1–6

aSing, O barren, thou that didst not bear;

bBreak forth into singing, and ccry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child:

For dmore are the children of ethe desolate than the children of ethe married wife, saith the Lord.

2  fEnlarge the place of gthy tent,

And let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations:

hSpare not, lengthen hhthy cords, and strengthen githy stakes;

3  For thou shalt break forth jon the right hand and on the left;

And kthy seed shall inherit the Gentiles,

And make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4  Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed:

lNeither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame:

For thou shalt forget the shame mof thy youth,

And shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

5  For nthy Maker is othine husband;

pThe Lord of hosts is his name;

And qthy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel;

rThe God of the whole earth shall he be called.

6  For the Lord hath called thee sas a woman ssforsaken and grieved in spirit,

And ta wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
