Isaiah 54

(CLV) Isaiah 54

1 Jubilate, O barren, who has not borne! Crash into jubilation, and make a noise, who has not travailed! For more are the sons of the desolate than the sons of the one with a possessor, says Yahweh. 2 Widen the place of your tent, and the sheets of your tabernacles will stretch out. You must not keep back! Lengthen your cords, and your pegs make fast. 3 For right and left shall you breach, and your seed shall tenant nations, and the desolated cities shall be indwelt. 4 You must not fear, for you are not shamed, and you must not be confounded, for you shall not be abashed. For the shame of your adolescence will you forget, and the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no longer. 5 For your Possessor is your Maker. Yahweh of hosts is His name. And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. The Elohim of the entire earth shall He be called. 6 For as a woman, forsaken and grieved in spirit, Yahweh called you, and as a wife of youth, that is being rejected, says Yahweh, your Elohim. 7 For a small moment I forsook you, yet with great compassions will I convene you. 8 In effervescent wrath I concealed My face a moment from you, yet with kindness eonian have I compassion on you, says your Redeemer, Yahweh. 9 For this is the waters of Noah to Me. As I swore off from passing the waters of Noah again over the earth, so I swore off from wrath over you further and from rebuking you. 10 For the mountains shall remove, and the hills shall slip, yet My kindness from you shall not remove, and the covenant of My welfare shall not slip, says your Compassionate One, Yahweh. 11 Humbled! Tempest-tossed! Not comforted! Behold! I will cause your stones to be embedded in pigment. And your foundation I lay with sapphires. 12 And I make of brilliants your sun-slits, and your gates of stones that kindle, and all your boundary with stones delightful. 13 And all your sons are taught by Yahweh, and much is the welfare of your sons. 14 In righteousness shall you establish yourself. Be far from extortion, for you shall not fear, and from dismay, for it shall not come near to you. 15 Behold! One shall sojourn, yea sojourn only because of Me, and who sojourns with you, to you shall fall. 16 Behold! I, I created the artificer who blows into the fire of coal, and brings forth an implement for his occupation. And I, I created the ruiner to harm. 17 Any implement formed against you shall not prosper, and any tongue which rises against you for judgment you shall condemn. This is the allotment of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is from Me, averring is Yahweh.
