4 “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.

Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.

You will forget the shame of your youth

and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.

5 For your Maker is your husband—

the Lord Almighty is his name—

the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;

he is called the God of all the earth.

6 The Lord will call you back

as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—

a wife who married young,

only to be rejected,” says your God.

7 “For a brief moment I abandoned you,

but with deep compassion I will bring you back.

4 “Fear not, for you will not be ashamed;

be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced;

for you will forget the shame of your youth,

and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.

5 For your Maker is your husband,

the Lord of hosts is his name;

and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,

the God of the whole earth he is called.

6 For the Lord has called you

like a wife deserted and grieved in spirit,

like a wife of youth when she is cast off,

says your God.

7 For a brief moment I deserted you,

but with great compassion I will gather you.

4 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 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 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 small moment have I forsaken thee;

But with great mercies will I gather thee.

4 “Fear not; you will no longer live in shame.

Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you.

You will no longer remember the shame of your youth

and the sorrows of widowhood.

5 For your Creator will be your husband;

the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,

the God of all the earth.

6 For the Lord has called you back from your grief—

as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,”

says your God.

7 “For a brief moment I abandoned you,

but with great compassion I will take you back.

4 “Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed;

Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame;

For you will forget the shame of your youth,

And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.

5 For your Maker is your husband,

The Lord of hosts is His name;

And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;

He is called the God of the whole earth.

6 For the Lord has called you

Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,

Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”

Says your God.

7 “For a mere moment I have forsaken you,

But with great mercies I will gather you.

4 “Don’t be afraid, because you will not be ashamed.

Don’t be embarrassed, because you will not be disgraced.

You will forget the shame you felt earlier;

you will not remember the shame you felt when you lost your husband.

5 The God who made you is like your husband.

His name is the Lord All-Powerful.

The Holy One of Israel is the one who saves you.

He is called the God of all the earth.

6 You were like a woman whose husband left her,

and you were very sad.

You were like a wife who married young

and then her husband left her.

But the Lord called you to be his,”

says your God.

7 God says, “I left you for a short time,

but with great kindness I will bring you back again.

4 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 the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more. 5 For thy Maker is thy husband; Jehovah of hosts is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called. 6 For Jehovah hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off, saith thy God. 7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

4 Don’t be afraid, because you won’t be put to shame. 

Don’t be discouraged, because you won’t be disgraced. 

You’ll forget the shame you’ve had since you were young. 

You won’t remember the disgrace of your husband’s death anymore. 

5 Your husband is your maker. 

His name is the Lord of Armies. 

Your defender is the Holy One of Israel. 

He is called the God of the whole earth. 

6 “The Lord has called you as if you were 

a wife who was abandoned and in grief, 

a wife who married young and was rejected,” says your God. 

7 “I abandoned you for one brief moment, 

but I will bring you back with unlimited compassion. 

4 “Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame;

don’t be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced.

For you will forget the shame of your youth,

and you will no longer remember

the disgrace of your widowhood.

5 Indeed, your husband is your Maker —

His name is Yahweh of Hosts—

and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;

He is called the God of all the earth.

6 For the Lord has called you,

like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit,

a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”

says your God.

7 “I deserted you for a brief moment,

but I will take you back with great compassion.

the Lord of hosts is his name;

the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer,

the God of the whole earth he is called.

6 For the Lord has called you

like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,

like the wife of a man’s youth when she is cast off,

says your God.

7 For a brief moment I abandoned you,

but with great compassion I will gather you.

4 You must not fear, for you will not be ashamed,

and you must not be confounded, for you will not feel abashed,

for you will forget the shame of your youth,

and you will no longer remember the disgrace of your widowhood.

5 For your husband is your maker, his name is Yahweh of hosts;

and your redeemer is the holy one of Israel, he is called the God of all of the earth.

6 For Yahweh has called you like a wife forsaken and hurt of spirit,

like the wife of childhood when she is rejected, says your God.

7 I abandoned you for a short moment,

but I will gather you with great compassion.

4 “Do not be afraid. You will not be put to shame anymore.

Do not be afraid of being dishonored.

People will no longer make fun of you.

You will forget the time when you suffered as slaves in Egypt.

You will no longer remember the shame

of being a widow in Babylonia.

5 I made you. I am now your husband.

My name is The Lord Who Rules Over All.

I am the Holy One of Israel.

I have set you free.

I am the God of the whole earth.

6 You were like a wife who was deserted.

And her heart was broken.

You were like a wife who married young.

And her husband sent her away.

But now I am calling you to come back,” says your God.

7 “For a brief moment I left you.

But because I love you so much, I will bring you back.
