Yeshayahu 54 ישעיהו נ״ד

Sing, O barren one, 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, says the Lord.

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not: lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess nations, and make desolate cities to be inhabited.

Fear not; for thou shall not be ashamed: neither be confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: but thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

For thy Maker is thy husband: the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy redeemer is the Holy One of Yisra᾽el; The God of the whole earth is he called.

For the Lord has called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit; but a wife of youth, can she be cast off? says thy God.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

In the overflowing of wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting faithful love will I have mercy on thee, says thy redeemer, the Lord.

For this is as the waters of Noaĥ to me: as I have sworn that the waters of Noaĥ should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be furious with thee, nor rebuke thee.

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my faithful love shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, says the Lord that has mercy on thee.

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

And I will make thy windows of rubies, and thy gates of beryl, and all thy borders of choicest stones.

And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

In righteousness shalt thou be established: keep away from oppression; then thou shalt not fear: and from terror; then it shall not come near thee.

Behold, they may well gather together, but not by me: whoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Behold, I have created the smith that blows upon the fire of the coals, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

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 Lord and the recompense of their righteousness appointed by me, says the Lord.
