Isaiah
Chapter 54
1``
Sing, O barren,
you
who did not bear;
break
forth into singing, and cry aloud,
you
who did not travail with child.
For
more are the children of the desolate
than
the children of the married wife,"
said
Jehovah/God.
[Note: Paul quoted this in Galatians 4:27.]
2
Enlarge the place of your tent,
and
let them stretch forth
the
curtains of your habitations.
Spare
not, 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 inherit the Gentiles,
and
make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not.
For you shall not be ashamed.
Neither
be you confounded
for
you shall not be put to shame.
For
you shall forget the shame of your youth,
and
shall not remember
the
reproach of your widowhood any more.
5``For your Maker is your husband.
Jehovah/God
of the armies/hosts . . . {is} His name;
and
your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.
The
'Elohiym/Godhead of the whole earth
shall
he be called.
6``For
Jehovah/God has called you
as
a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
and
a wife of youth, when you were refused,
said
your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
7
For a small moment have I forsaken you;
but
with great mercies will I gather you.
8``
In a little wrath I hid my face from you for a moment;
but
with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you,
said
Jehovah/God your Redeemer.
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 you,
nor
rebuke you.
10~~"For
the mountains will be removed,
and
the hills will quake.
But
My grace will not be removed from you,
and
My covenant of peace will not be broken,"
said
Jehovah/God Who protects you.
11
O you afflicted,
tossed
with tempest,
and
not comforted,
behold,
I will lay your stones with fair colors,
and
lay your foundations with sapphires.
12``And
I will make your windows of agates/ruby {kadkod},
and
your gates of carbuncles/'stone with metal ore' {'eben},
and
all your borders of 'pleasant stones'/
'stones
that bring delight' {chephets 'eben}.
13``And
all your children shall be taught of Jehovah/God;
and
great shall be the peace of your children.
14
In righteousness shall you be established:
you
shall be far from oppression
for
you shall not fear.
And from terror; for it shall not come near you.
15
Behold, they shall surely gather together,
but
not by Me.
Whosoever
shall gather together against you
shall
fall for your sake.
16
Behold, I have created the smith
that
blows the coals in the fire,
and
that brings forth an instrument for his work;
and
I have created the waster to destroy.

17~~
"No weapon that is formed against you
shall
prosper.
And
every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment
you
will condemn.
This
is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah/God,
and
their righteousness is My business/responsibility",
said
Jehovah/God.
