Isaiah:54
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Sing ,
barren ,
you who didn '
t bear ;
break forth into singing ,
and cry aloud ,
you who did not travail with child :
for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife ,"
says Yahweh .
* "
Enlarge the place of your tent ,
and let them stretch forth the curtains of your habitations ;
don '
t spare :
lengthen your cords ,
and strengthen your stakes .
*
For you shall spread out on the right hand and on the left ;
and your seed shall possess the nations ,
and make the desolate cities to be inhabited .
* "
Don '
t be afraid ;
for you shall not be ashamed :
neither be confounded ;
for you shall not be disappointed :
for you shall forget the shame of your youth ;
and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more .
*
For your Maker is your husband ;
Yahweh of Armies is his name :
and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer ;
the God of the whole earth shall he be called .
*
For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit ,
even a wife of youth ,
when she is cast off ,"
says your God .
* "
For a small moment have I forsaken you ;
but with great mercies will I gather you .
*
In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment ;
but with everlasting loving kindness will I have mercy on you ,"
says Yahweh your Redeemer .
* "
For this is like the waters of Noah to me ;
for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah shall no more go over the earth ,
so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you ,
nor rebuke you .
*
For the mountains may depart ,
and the hills be removed ;
but my loving kindness shall not depart from you ,
neither shall my covenant of peace be removed ,"
says Yahweh who has mercy on you .
* "
You afflicted ,
tossed with storms ,
and not comforted ,
behold ,
I will set your stones in beautiful colors ,
and lay your foundations with sapphires .
*
I will make your pinnacles of rubies ,
and your gates of sparkling jewels ,
and all your walls of precious stones .
*
All your children shall be taught of Yahweh ;
and great shall be the peace of your children .
*
In righteousness you shall be established :
you shall be far from oppression ,
for you shall not be afraid ;
and from terror ,
for it shall not come near you .
*
Behold ,
they may gather together ,
but not by me :
whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you .
* "
Behold ,
I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals ,
and brings forth a weapon for his work ;
and I have created the waster to destroy .
*
No weapon that is formed against you will prevail ;
and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment .
This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh ,
and their righteousness which is of me ,"
says Yahweh .
