CHAPTER 54
A Perpetual Covenant of Peace
A Promise of Everlasting Kindness
​
1 “Sing, O barren,
​​You who have not borne!
​​Break forth into singing, and cry aloud,
​​You who have not labored with child!
​​For more are the children of the desolate
​​Than the children of the married woman,” says the LORD.
2 ​​“Enlarge the place of your tent,
​​And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings;
​​Do not spare;
​​Lengthen your cords,
​​And strengthen your stakes.
3 ​​For you shall expand to the right and to the left,
​​And your descendants will inherit the nations,
​​And make the desolate cities inhabited.
​
4 ​​“Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed;
​​Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame;
​​For you will forget the shame of your youth,
​​And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore.
5 ​​For your Maker is your husband,
​​The LORD of hosts is His name;
​​And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
​​He is called the God of the whole earth.
6 ​​For the LORD has called you
​​Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
​​Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
​​Says your God.
7 ​​“For a mere moment I have forsaken you,
​​But with great mercies I will gather you.
8 ​​With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
​​But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
​​Says the LORD, your Redeemer.
​
9 ​​“For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;
​​For as I have sworn
​​That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
​​So have I sworn
​​That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 ​​For the mountains shall depart
​​And the hills be removed,
​​But My kindness shall not depart from you,
​​Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
​​Says the LORD, who has mercy on you.
​
11 ​​“O you afflicted one,
​​Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
​​Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
​​And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 ​​I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
​​Your gates of crystal,
​​And all your walls of precious stones.
13 ​​All your children shall be taught by the LORD,
​​And great shall be the peace of your children.
14 ​​In righteousness you shall be established;
​​You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
​​And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 ​​Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
​​Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
​
16 ​​“Behold, I have created the blacksmith
​​Who blows the coals in the fire,
​​Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
​​And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
17 ​​No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
​​And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
​​You shall condemn.
​​This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
​​And their righteousness is from Me,”
​​Says the LORD.
