CHAP. LIV.
The Gentiles, who were barren
before, shall multiply in the
church of Christ: from
which God's mercy shall
never depart.
1 Give praise, O thou
barren that bearest not:
sing forth praise, and make
a joyful noise, thou that
didst not travel with child:
for many are the children of
the desolate, more than of
the married wife, saith the
Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of
thy tent, and stretch out the
skins of thy tabernacles,
spare not: lengthen thy
cords, and strengthen thy
stakes.
3 For thou shalt pass on
to the right hand, and to
the left: and thy seed shall
inherit the Gentiles, and shall
inhabit the desolate cities.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt
not be confounded, nor blush:
for thou shalt not be put to
shame, because thou shalt
forget the shame of thy
youth, and shalt remember
no more the reproach of thy
widowhood.
5 For he that made thee
shall rule over thee, the
Lord of hosts is his name:
and thy Redeemer, the holy
One of Israel, shall be called
the God of all the earth.
6 For the Lord hath called
thee as a woman forsaken
and mourning in spirit, and
as a wife cast off from her
youth, said thy God.
7 For a small moment
have I forsaken thee, but
with great mercies will I
gather thee.
8 In a moment of indignation
have I hid my
-- --
face a little while from thee,
but with everlasting kindness
have I had mercy on
thee, said the Lord thy Redeemer.
9 This thing is to me as
in the days of Noe, to whom
I swore, that I would no
more bring in the waters of
Noe upon the earth: so have
I sworn not to be angry with
thee, and not to rebuke thee.
10 For the mountains
shall be moved, and the
hills shall tremble: but my
mercy shall not depart from
thee, and the covenant of
my peace shall not be moved:
said the Lord that hath
mercy on thee.
11 O poor little one,
tossed with tempest, without
all comfort, behold I will
lay thy stones in order, and
will lay thy foundations with
saphires,
12 And I will make thy
bulwarks of jasper: and
thy gates of graven stones,
and all thy borders of lovely
stones.
13 All thy children shall
be taught of the Lord: and
great shall be the peace of
thy children.
14 And thou shalt be
founded in justice: depart
far from oppression, for
thou shalt not fear; and
from terror, for it shall not
come near thee.
15 Behold, an inhabitant
shall come, who was not
with me, he that was a
stranger to thee before, shall
be joined to thee.
16 Behold, I have created
the smith that bloweth the
coals in the fire, and bringeth
forth an instrument for
his work, and I have created
the killer to destroy.
17 No weapon that is
formed against thee shall
prosper: and every tongue
that resisteth thee in judgment,
thou shalt condemn.
This is the inheritance of
the servants of the Lord,
and their justice with me,
saith the Lord.
