Chapter
54
- 54:1
- Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into
singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child:
for more are the children of the desolate than the children
of the married wife, saith the LORD.
- 54:2
- 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;
- 54:3
- 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.
- 54:4
- 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.
- 54:5
- 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.
- 54:6
- 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.
- 54:7
- For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies
will I gather thee.
- 54:8
- In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but
with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the
LORD thy Redeemer.
- 54:9
- For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have
sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth;
so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke
thee.
- 54:10
- For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed;
but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the
covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy
on thee.
- 54:11
- O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy
foundations with sapphires.
- 54:12
- And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles,
and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
- 54:13
- And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great
shall be the peace of thy children.
- 54:14
- In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be
far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror;
for it shall not come near thee.
- 54:15
- Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me:
whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for
thy sake.
- 54:16
- Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in
the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work;
and I have created the waster to destroy.
- 54:17
- No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and
their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
