Future Blessings for Zion
1 PRAISE o barren woman which bearest not: sing praise, and make joyful noise, which didst not bear: because many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband, saith our Lord.📜💬📚
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and stretch out the skins of thy tabernacles, spare not: make long thy cords, and fasten thy nails.📜💬📚
3 For thou shalt penetrate to the right hand, and to the left: and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, & shall inhabit the desolate cities.📜💬📚
4 Fear not, because thou shall not be confounded, nor blush: for thou shalt not be ashamed, because thou shalt forget the confusion of thy youth, and the reproach of thy widowhood thou shalt remember no more.📜💬📚
5 Because he shall rule over thee that made thee, the Lord of hosts is his name: & thy redeemer the holy one of Israel, shall be called the God of all the earth.📜💬📚
6 For as a woman forsaken & mourning in spirit hath our Lord called thee, & as a wife cast off from her youth, hath thy God said:📜💬📚
7 For a moment, a little while have I forsaken thee, & in great mercies will I gather thee.📜💬📚
8 In a moment of indignation have I hid my face a little while from thee, & in mercy everlasting have I had mercy on thee, said thy redeemer our Lord.📜💬📚
9 As in the days of Noe is this thing to me, to whom I sware, that I would no more bring in the waters of Noe upon the earth: so have I sworn not to be angry with thee, and not to rebuke thee.📜💬📚
10 For the mountains shall be moved, & the little hills shall tremble; but my mercy shall not depart from thee, & the covenant of my peace shall not be moved, said our Lord thy miseratour.📜💬📚
11 Poor little one shaken with tempest, without all comfort, behold I will lay thy stones in order, & will found thee in sapphires,📜💬📚
12 & I will put the jasper stone for thy munitions: & thy gates into graven stones, all thy borders into stones worthy to be desired.📜💬📚
13 All thy children taught of our Lord: & a multitude of peace to thy children.📜💬📚
14 And in justice thou shalt be founded: depart far from calumny, because thou shalt not fear: and from dread, because it shall not approach to thee.📜💬📚
15 Behold, the borderer shall come, which was not with me, thy stranger sometime shall be joined to thee.📜💬📚
16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, & bringeth forth a vessel for his work, & I created the killer to destroy.📜💬📚
17 Every vessel that is made against thee, shall not prosper: and every tongue resisting thee in judgement, thou shalt judge. This is the inheritance of the servants of our Lord, and their justice with me, saith our Lord.📜💬📚
