Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Chapter 54 -

1
Sing, O barren, she [who] has not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, || She [who] has not brought forth! For more [are] the sons of the desolate, || Than the sons of the married one,” said YHWH.
2
Enlarge the place of your tent, || And they stretch out the curtains of your dwelling places, || Do not restrainlengthen your cords, || And make your pins strong.
3
For you break forth right and left, || And nations possess your seed,
4
And they cause desolate cities to be inhabited. Do not fear, for you are not ashamed, || Nor blush, for you are not confounded, || For you forget the shame of your youth, || And the reproach of your widowhood || You do not remember anymore.
5
For your Maker [is] your husband, || YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, || And your Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, || He is called God of all the earth.
6
For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, || YHWH has called you, || Even a youthful wife when she is refused,” said your God.
7
In a small moment I have forsaken you, || And in great mercies I gather you,
8
In overflowing wrath I hid My face [for] a moment from you, || And in perpetual kindness I have loved you, || Said your RedeemerYHWH!
9
For this [is as] the days of Noah to Me, || In that I have sworn that the waters of Noah || Do not pass over the earth againSo I have sworn, || Wrath is not on you, || Nor rebuke against you.
10
For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, || And My kindness does not depart from you, || And the covenant of My peace does not remove,” || Says YHWH, your loving one.
11
O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, || Behold, I am laying your stones with cement, || And have founded you with sapphires,
12
And have made your pinnacles of agate, || And your gates of carbuncle stones, || And all your border of stones of delight,
13
And all your sons are taught of YHWH, || And the peace of your sons [is] abundant.
14
You establish yourself in righteousness, || Be far from oppression, for you do not fear, || And from ruin, for it does not come near to you.
15
Behold, he diligently assembles without My desire, || Whoever has assembled near you falls by you!
16
Behold, I have created an artisan, || Blowing on a fire of coals, || And bringing out an instrument for his work, || And I have created a destroyer to destroy.
17
No weapon formed against you prospers, || And every tongue rising against you, || You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, || And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH!
1
Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says the LORD.
2
Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
3
For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
4
“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
5
For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
6
For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
7
For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
8
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
9
For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has mercy on you.
11
You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12
I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.
14
You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15
Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
16
Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
17
No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
