1Sing, Oh barren woman who did not give birth, and exult in praise and dance, you who have not been in labor, because the children of the desolate have increased more than the children of a wife, says LORD JEHOVAH!

2Enlarge the place of your tents and stretch the curtains of your tents, and you shall not spare; lengthen your ropes and set your pegs firmly

3Because to the right and to the left you shall increase, and your seed shall inherit the nations and shall cause the cities that are deserted to be inhabited

4You shall not be afraid because you are not ashamed, and you shall not be rebuked, because you were not put to shame, because you shall forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you shall not remember again

5Because your Lord did thus for you. LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts is his name, and your Savior, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the Earth he shall be called

6Because like a woman who is divorced and whose spirit is grieved, LORD JEHOVAH called you, and like the wife of a youth who is forsaken, says your God

7In a little anger I left you, and in my many compassions I shall gather you

8In great anger I have turned my face from you, and in my eternal compassions I have loved upon you, says LORD JEHOVAH your Savior

9This is like the days of Noah to me, for I swore that the waters of Noah shall not pass again over the Earth, so I have sworn that I shall not be angry with you and I shall not rebuke you

10Because the mountains shall be leveled and high places shall bow down, and my grace shall not pass away from you, and the covenant of your peace shall not pass away, says LORD JEHOVAH, the lover

11Afflicted and tempest tossed one, because you are not comforted, behold I make your stones beryl, and I shall construct your foundations in stones of sapphire

12And I shall build your walls with stones of jasper and your gates with stones of crystal, and your borders with choice stones

13And all your children shall learn of me, and the peace of your children shall increase

14And you shall be acquired in righteousness. Be far removed from slander, for you shall not be afraid, and from ruin, for it does not come near you

15And all who are converted by my hands shall enter you, and you shall be a house of refuge for your inhabitants

16Behold, I have created the Craftsman who blows the bellows into the fire and perfects a weapon for his works, and I have created the Destroyer to destroy

17No weapon that is formed against you shall prevail, and every tongue that shall arise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the Servants of LORD JEHOVAH, and their righteousness is from before me, says LORD JEHOVAH
