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

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.s

5 Indeed, your husband is your Makert—

his name is the Lord of Armies—

and the Holy One of Israelu is your Redeemer;v

he is called the God of the whole earth.

6 For the Lord has called you,

like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit,w

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

says your God.

7 “I deserted you for a brief moment,y

but I will take you back with abundant compassion.

8 In a surge of anger

I hid my facez from you for a moment,

but I will have compassion on you

with everlasting love,”aa

says the Lord your Redeemer.
