[1]Sing,O barren, thou that didst not bear, break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
[2]Enlargethe place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations, spare not; lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
[3]Forthou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
[4]Fearnot, 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 the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more.
[5]Forthy Maker is thy husband, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts is His name; and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer, the God of the whole earth shall He be called.
[6]For𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit; and a wife of youth, can she be rejected? saith thy God.
[7]Fora sma moment have I forsaken thee; but with great compassion will I gather thee.
[8]Ina little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have compassion on thee, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy Redeemer.
[9]Forthis is as the waters of Noah unto Me; for as 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]Forthe mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall My covenant of peace be removed, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 that hath compassion on thee.
[11]Othou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
[12]AndI will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones.
[13]Andall thy children shall be taught of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
[14]Inrighteousness shalt thou be established; be thou far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear, and from ruin, for it shall not come near thee.
[15]Behold,they may gather together, but not by Me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee.
[16]Behold,I have created the smith that bloweth the fire of coals, and bringeth forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
[17]Noweapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and their due reward from Me, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
