hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the
sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
CHAPTER 54
Sing, O barren, thou
that
didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou
that
didst not
travail with child: for more
are
the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,
saith the L
ORD
.
2
Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine
habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3
For thou shalt break forth
on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate
cities to be inhabited.
4
Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for
thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember
the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5
For thy Maker
is
thine husband; the L
ORD
of hosts
is
his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6
For the L
ORD
hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when
thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7
For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies
will I gather thee.
8
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting
kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the L
ORD
thy 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 thee, nor rebuke thee.
10
For the mountains shall depart, and
the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my
peace be removed, saith the L
ORD
that hath mercy on thee.
11
O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest,
and
not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with
fair colors, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12
And I will make thy windows of agates, and
thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13
And all thy children
shall be
taught
of the L
ORD
; and great
shall be
the peace of thy children.
14
In righteousness shalt thou be established:
thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near
thee.
15
Behold, they shall surely gather together,
but
not by me: whosoever shall gather together
against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16
Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the
fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue
that
shall rise against
thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This
is
the heritage of the servants of the L
ORD
, and their
righteousness
is
of me, saith the L
ORD
.
