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 LORD.

Enlarge
the place
of thy tent,
and let them stretch forth
the curtains
of thine habitations:

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 inherit
the Gentiles,
and make the desolate
cities
to be inhabited.
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.

For thy Maker
is thine husband;
the LORD
of hosts
is his name;
and thy Redeemer
the Holy One
of Israel;
The God
of the whole earth
shall he be called.
For the LORD
hath called
thee as a woman
forsaken
and grieved
in spirit,
and a wife
of youth,
when thou wast refused,
saith
thy God.
For a small
moment
have I forsaken
thee; but with great
mercies
will I gather
thee.
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 LORD
thy Redeemer.
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.
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 LORD
that hath 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 agates,
and thy gates
of carbuncles,
and all thy borders
of pleasant
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:
thou shalt be far
from oppression;
for thou shalt not fear:
and from terror;
for it shall not come near
thee.
Behold, they shall surely
gather together,
but not
by me: whosoever
shall gather together
against thee shall fall
for thy sake.
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.

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 their righteousness
is of me, saith
the LORD.
