[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.
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,

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,

[12] I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
your gates of sparkling jewels,

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,

Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you. [16] “Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame,

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.

Jerusalem’s Future
[1] Sing, H7442 (QalImpv) O barren, H6135 thou that didst not bear; H3205 (QalPerf) break forth H6476 (QalImpv) into singing, H7440 and cry aloud, H6670 (PielImpv) thou that didst not travail with child: H2342 (QalPerf) for more H7227 are the children H1121 of the desolate H8074 (QalActPtc) than the children H1121 of the married wife, H1166 (QalPasPtc) saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord. H3068 [2] Enlarge H7337 (HiphImpv) the place H4725 of thy tent, H168 and let them stretch forth H5186 (HiphImpf) the curtains H3407 of thine habitations: H4908 spare H2820 (QalImpf) not, lengthen H748 (HiphImpv) thy cords, H4340 and strengthen H2388 (PielImpv) thy stakes; H3489 [3] for thou shalt break forth H6555 (QalImpf) on the right hand H3225 and on the left; H8040 and thy seed H2233 shall inherit H3423 (QalImpf) the Gentiles, H1471 and make the desolate H8074 (NiphPtc) cities H5892 to be inhabited. H3427 (HiphImpf) [4] Fear H3372 (QalImpf) not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: H954 (QalImpf) neither be thou confounded; H3637 (NiphImpf) for thou shalt not be put to shame: H2659 (HiphImpf) for thou shalt forget H7911 (QalImpf) the shame H1322 of thy youth, H5934 and shalt not remember H2142 (QalImpf) the reproach H2781 of thy widowhood H491 any more. [5] For thy Maker H6213 (QalActPtc) is thine husband; H1166 (QalActPtc) the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name; H8034 and thy Redeemer H1350 (QalActPtc) the Holy One H6918 of Israel; H3478 The God H430 of the whole earth H776 shall he be called. H7121 (NiphImpf) [6] For the Lord H3068 hath called H7121 (QalPerf) thee as a woman H802 forsaken H5800 (QalPasPtc) and grieved H6087 (QalPasPtc) in spirit, H7307 and a wife H802 of youth, H5271 when thou wast refused, H3988 (NiphImpf) saith H559 (QalPerf) thy God. H430 [7] For a small H6996 moment H7281 have I forsaken H5800 (QalPerf) thee; but with great H1419 mercies H7356 will I gather H6908 (PielImpf) thee. [8] In a little H8241 wrath H7110 I hid H5641 (HiphPerf) my face H6440 from thee for a moment; H7281 but with everlasting H5769 kindness H2617 will I have mercy H7355 (PielPerf) on thee, saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 thy Redeemer. H1350 (QalActPtc) [9] For this is as the waters H4325 of Noah H5146 unto me: for as I have sworn H7650 (NiphPerf) that the waters H4325 of Noah H5146 should no more go over H5674 (QalInf) the earth; H776 so have I sworn H7650 (NiphPerf) that I would not be wroth H7107 (QalInf) with thee, nor rebuke H1605 (QalInf) thee. [10] For the mountains H2022 shall depart, H4185 (QalImpf) and the hills H1389 be removed; H4131 (QalImpf) but my kindness H2617 shall not depart H4185 (QalImpf) from thee, neither shall the covenant H1285 of my peace H7965 be removed, H4131 (QalImpf) saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 that hath mercy H7355 (PielPtc) on thee. [11] O thou afflicted, H6041 tossed with tempest, H5590 (QalActPtc) and not comforted, H5162 (PualPtc) behold, I will lay H7257 (HiphPtc) thy stones H68 with fair colours, H6320 and lay thy foundations H3245 (QalPerf) with sapphires. H5601 [12] And I will make H7760 (QalPerf) thy windows H8121 of agates, H3539 and thy gates H8179 of carbuncles, H68 and all thy borders H1366 of pleasant H2656 stones. H68 [13] And all thy children H1121 shall be taught H3928 of the Lord; H3068 and great H7227 shall be the peace H7965 of thy children. H1121 [14] In righteousness H6666 shalt thou be established: H3559 (HiplImpf) thou shalt be far H7368 (QalImpv) from oppression; H6233 for thou shalt not fear: H3372 (QalImpf) and from terror; H4288 for it shall not come near H7126 (QalImpf) thee. [15] Behold, they shall surely H1481 (QalInf) gather together, H1481 (QalImpf) but not H657 by me: whosoever H4310 shall gather together H1481 (QalPerf) against thee shall fall H5307 (QalImpf) for thy sake. [16] Behold, I have created H1254 (QalPerf) the smith H2796 that bloweth H5301 (QalActPtc) the coals H6352 in the fire, H784 and that bringeth forth H3318 (HiphPtc) an instrument H3627 for his work; H4639 and I have created H1254 (QalPerf) the waster H7843 (HiphPtc) to destroy. H2254 (PielInf) [17] No weapon H3627 that is formed H3335 (HophImpf) against thee shall prosper; H6743 (QalImpf) and every tongue H3956 that shall rise H6965 (QalImpf) against thee in judgment H4941 thou shalt condemn. H7561 (HiphImpf) This is the heritage H5159 of the servants H5650 of the Lord, H3068 and their righteousness H6666 is of me, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068Byzantine Greek New Testament
