# Chapter 54
|
|
1. "Sing, O childless woman,
|
|
you who have never given birth!
|
|
Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem,
|
|
you who have never been in labor.
|
|
For the desolate woman now has more children
|
|
than the woman who lives with her husband,"
|
|
says the LORD.
|
|
|
|
2. "Enlarge your house; build an addition.
|
|
Spread out your home, and spare no expense!
|
|
|
|
3. For you will soon be bursting at the seams.
|
|
Your descendants will occupy other nations
|
|
and resettle the ruined cities.
|
|
|
|
4. "Fear not; you will no longer live in shame.
|
|
Don't be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you.
|
|
You will no longer remember the shame of your youth
|
|
and the sorrows of widowhood.
|
|
|
|
5. For your Creator will be your husband;
|
|
the LORD of Heaven's Armies is his name!
|
|
He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
|
|
the God of all the earth.
|
|
|
|
6. For the LORD has called you back from your grief--
|
|
as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,"
|
|
says your God.
|
|
|
|
7. "For a brief moment I abandoned you,
|
|
but with great compassion I will take you back.
|
|
|
|
8. In a burst of anger I turned my face away for a little while.
|
|
But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,"
|
|
says the LORD, your Redeemer.
|
|
|
|
9. "Just as I swore in the time of Noah
|
|
that I would never again let a flood cover the earth,
|
|
so now I swear
|
|
that I will never again be angry and punish you.
|
|
|
|
10. For the mountains may move
|
|
and the hills disappear,
|
|
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
|
|
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,"
|
|
says the LORD, who has mercy on you.
|
|
|
|
11. "O storm-battered city,
|
|
troubled and desolate!
|
|
I will rebuild you with precious jewels
|
|
and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.
|
|
|
|
12. I will make your towers of sparkling rubies,
|
|
your gates of shining gems,
|
|
and your walls of precious stones.
|
|
|
|
13. I will teach all your children,
|
|
and they will enjoy great peace.
|
|
|
|
14. You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.
|
|
Your enemies will stay far away.
|
|
You will live in peace,
|
|
and terror will not come near.
|
|
|
|
15. If any nation comes to fight you,
|
|
it is not because I sent them.
|
|
Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.
|
|
|
|
16. "I have created the blacksmith
|
|
who fans the coals beneath the forge
|
|
and makes the weapons of destruction.
|
|
And I have created the armies that destroy.
|
|
|
|
17. But in that coming day
|
|
no weapon turned against you will succeed.
|
|
You will silence every voice
|
|
raised up to accuse you.
|
|
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD;
|
|
their vindication will come from me.
|
|
I, the LORD, have spoken!
|
