Isaiah 54:1-8

Isaiah 54:1-8

[1] Sing,  O barren,  thou that didst not bear;  break forth  into singing,  and cry aloud,  thou that didst not travail with child:  for more  are 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  [5] For thy Maker  is thine husband;  the LORD  of hosts  is his name;  and thy Redeemer  the Holy One  of Israel;  The God  of the whole earth  shall he be called.  [6] hath called  thee as a woman  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  [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.
