Isaiah:54
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Rejoice ,
O barren ,
thou [
that ]
didst not bear ;
break forth into singing ,
and cry aloud with joy ,
thou [
that ]
didst not travail with child :
for more [
shall be ]
the sons of the desolate than the sons of the married wife ,
said the LORD .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For thy Maker [
shall be ]
thine husband ;
the LORD of the hosts [
is ]
his name ;
and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel ;
The God of the whole earth shall he be called .
*
For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit has the LORD called thee ,
and [
as ]
a young woman who is put away ,
said thy God .
*
For a small moment I have forsaken thee ;
but with great mercies I will gather thee .
*
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment ;
but with eternal mercy I will have compassion on thee ,
said the LORD thy Redeemer .
*
For this [
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 I have sworn that I would not be wroth [
again ]
with thee ,
nor reprehend thee .
*
For the mountains shall be removed ,
and the hills shall tremble ;
but my mercy shall not depart from thee ,
neither shall the covenant of my peace be changed ,
said the LORD that has mercy on thee .
*
O thou afflicted ,
tossed with tempest , [
and ]
not comforted ,
behold ,
I will cement thy stones upon carbuncle and lay thy foundations upon sapphires .
*
And I will make thy windows of precious stones ,
and thy gates of carbuncles ,
and all thy borders of stones of great price .
*
And all thy sons [
shall be ]
taught of the LORD ;
and the peace of thy sons shall be multiplied .
*
With righteousness shalt thou be adorned :
thou shalt be far from oppression ;
for thou shalt not fear [
it ];
and from terror ;
for it shall not come near thee .
*
If anyone should conspire against thee ,
it [
shall be ]
without me , [
but ]
not by me :
whosoever would conspire against thee shall fall before thee .
*
Behold ,
I have created the smith that blows the coals in the fire ,
and that brings forth the instrument for his work ;
and I have created the waster to destroy .
*
No weapon 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 the LORD ,
and their justice from me ,
said the LORD .:
