Isaiah 54

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 54 of 66

1 Sing out, barren one who never bore; break out a song and shout, you who never brought forth. For the sons of the desolate one are more than the sons of the married woman, says Jehovah.

2 Make the place of your tent larger, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings. Do not spare, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.

3 For you shall break forth on the right hand and on the left. And your seed shall possess nations, and ruined cities shall be lived in.
