stretch your tent curtains wide,

do not hold back;

lengthen your cords,

strengthen your stakes.

your descendants will dispossess nations

and settle in their desolate cities.

and your offspring will possess the nations

and will people the desolate cities.

2 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 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.

Spread out your home, and spare no expense!

3 For you will soon be bursting at the seams.

Your descendants will occupy other nations

and resettle the ruined cities.

And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;

And your descendants will inherit the nations,

And make the desolate cities inhabited.

2 Make your tent bigger;

stretch it out and make it wider.

Do not hold back.

Make the ropes longer

and its stakes stronger,

3 because you will spread out to the right and to the left.

Your children will take over other nations,

and they will again live in cities that once were destroyed.

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations; spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. 3 For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Stretch out the curtains of your tent, and don’t hold back.

Your descendants will take over other nations, 

and they will resettle deserted cities.

and let them stretch out the tent curtains of your dwelling place.

You must not spare; make your tent cords long

and strengthen your pegs,

3 for you will spread out to the right and to the left.

And your descendants will be heir to the nations,

and they will inhabit desolate towns.

2 “Make a large area for your tent.

Spread out its curtains.

Go ahead and make your tent wider.

Make its ropes longer.

Drive the stakes down deeper.

3 You will spread out to the right and the left.

Your children after you will drive out the nations that are now living in your land.

They will settle down in the deserted cities of those nations.

Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;

Lengthen your cords

And strengthen your pegs.
