# Isaiah 54 [[Isaiah 53|←]] • [[Isaiah 55|→]] --- ### 1 Sing, O barren, thou didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou didst not travail with child: for more the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord. ### 2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; ### 3 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. ### 4 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. ### 5 For thy Maker thine husband; the Lord of hosts his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. ### 6 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. ### 7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee. ### 8 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. ### 9 For this the waters of Noah unto me: for 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. ### 10 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. ### 11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. ### 12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. ### 13 And all thy children taught of the Lord; and great the peace of thy children. ### 14 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. ### 15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. ### 16 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. ### 17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness of me, saith the Lord.
