CHAPTER 54.
GIVE praise, O thou barren, that bearest not: sing forth praise, and
make a joyful noise, thou that didst not travail with child: for many are the
children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith the Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the
skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy
stakes.
3 For thou shalt pass on to the right hand, and to the
left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and shall inhabit the desolate
cities.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be confounded, nor
blush: for thou shalt not be put to shame, because thou shalt forget the shame
of thy youth, and shalt remember no more the reproach of thy widowhood.
5 For he that made thee shall rule over thee, the Lord
of hosts is his name: and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, shall be called
the God of all the earth.
6 For the Lord hath called thee as woman forsaken and
mourning in spirit, end se a wife cast off from her youth, said thy God.
7 For a, small moment have I forsaken thee, but with
great mercies will I gather thee.
8 In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a
little while from thee, but with everlasting kindness have I had mercy on thee,
said the Lord thy Redeemer.
9 This thing is to me as in the days of Noe, to whom I
swore, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have
I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee.
10 For the mountains shall be moved, and the hills
shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, and the covenant of my
peace shall not be moved: said the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
11 O poor little one, tossed with tempest, without all
comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, and will lay thy foundations
with sapphires,
12 And I will make thy bulwarks of jasper: and thy
gates of graven stones, and all thy borders of desirable stones.
13 All thy children shall be taught of the Lord: and
great shall be the peace of thy children.
14 And thou shalt be founded in justice: depart far
from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not
come near thee.
15 Behold, an inhabitant shall come, who was not with
me, he that was a stranger to thee before, shall be joined to thee.
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the
coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work, and I have
created the killer to destroy.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper:
and every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is
the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with me, saith
the Lord.
