Isaiah 54 (WEBP)

[1] “Sing, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says Yahweh.
[2] “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
[3] For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
[4] “Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
[5] For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be called the God of the whole earth.
[6] For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
[7] “For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
[8] In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.
[9] “For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
[10] For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says Yahweh who has mercy on you.
[11] “You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
[12] I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
[13] All your children will be taught by Yahweh, and your children’s peace will be great.
[14] You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
[15] Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.
[16] “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
[17] No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

Young’s Literal Translation

Isaiah 54 (YLT)

[1] Sing, O barren, she hath not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She hath not brought forth! For more are the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one, said Jehovah.
[2] Enlarge the place of thy tent, And the curtains of thy tabernacles they stretch out, Restrain not-lengthen thy cords, And thy pins make strong.
[3] For right and left thou breakest forth, And thy seed doth nations possess,
[4] And desolate cities they cause to be inhabited. Fear not, for thou art not ashamed, Nor blush, for thou art not confounded, For the shame of thy youth thou forgettest, And the reproach of thy widowhood Thou dost not remember any more.
[5] For thy Maker is thy husband, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, And thy Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, ‘God of all the earth,’ He is called.
[6] For, as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Called thee hath Jehovah, Even a youthful wife when she is refused, said thy God.
[7] In a small moment I have forsaken thee, And in great mercies I do gather thee,
[8] In overflowing wrath I hid my face for a moment from thee, And in kindness age-during I have loved thee, Said thy Redeemer-Jehovah!
[9] For, the waters of Noah is this to Me, In that I have sworn-the waters of Noah Do not pass again over the earth- So I have sworn, Wrath is not upon thee, Nor rebuke against thee.
[10] For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness from thee departeth not, And the covenant of My peace removeth not, Said hath thy loving one-Jehovah.
[11] O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Lo, I am laying with cement thy stones, And have founded thee with sapphires,
[12] And have made of agate thy pinnacles, And thy gates of carbuncle stones, And all thy border of stones of delight,
[13] And all thy sons are taught of Jehovah, And abundant is the peace of thy sons.
[14] In righteousness thou establishest thyself, Be far from oppression, for thou fearest not, And from ruin, for it cometh not near unto thee.
[15] Lo, he doth diligently assemble without My desire, Who hath assembled near thee? By thee he falleth!
[16] Lo, I-I have prepared an artisan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have prepared a destroyer to destroy.
[17] No weapon formed against thee prospereth, And every tongue rising against thee, In judgment thou condemnest. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness from me, an affirmation of Jehovah!
