Isaiah 54:3–8

3 “For you will aspread abroad to the right and to the left.

And your 1descendants will bpossess nations

And will cresettle the desolate cities.

4 “Fear not, for you will anot be put to shame;

And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;

But you will forget the bshame of your youth,

And the creproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.

5 “For your ahusband is your Maker,

Whose name is the Lord of hosts;

And your bRedeemer is the Holy One of Israel,

Who is called the cGod of all the earth.

6 “For the Lord has called you,

Like a wife aforsaken and grieved in spirit,

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

Says your God.

7 “1For a abrief moment I forsook you,

But with great compassion I will bgather you.

8 “In an 1aoutburst of anger

I hid My face from you for a moment,

But with everlasting blovingkindness I will chave compassion on you,”

Says the Lord your dRedeemer.
