Isaiah 54
The prophet, for the comfort of the nations, prophesies the fullness of their salvation, their certain deliverance out of affliction, and their sure preservation.
1Sing 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.
2Make 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.
3For 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.
4Do not fear, for you shall not be shamed, for you shall not be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and you shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.
5For your husband is your Maker, Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of all the earth.
6For Jehovah has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of young men when she is refused, says your God.

8In a flood of wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but I will have pity on you with everlasting kindness, says Jehovah your Redeemer.
9For this is the waters of Noah to Me; for as I swore to refrain from passing over the waters of Noah over the earth again, so I have sworn from being angry with you and rebuking you.
10For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you; nor shall the covenant of My peace be removed, says Jehovah who has pity on you.
11Afflicted one, storm tossed and not comforted! Behold, I am laying out your stones with antimony, and have founded you with sapphires.
12And I will make your battlements of ruby, and your gates carbuncle stones, and all your border stones of delight;
13and all your sons will be taught ones of Jehovah; and the peace of your sons will be great.
14You shall be established in righteousness; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near to you.
