Isa 54
1
Ga 4:27 Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail:
for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the
Lord has said,
2
Enlarge the placed of your tent, and of your curtains: fix the pins, spare not, lengthen
your cords, and strengthen your pins;
3
spread forth your tent yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit
the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4
Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was
reproached: for you shall forget your Gr. ancient, or, everlasting former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach
of your widowhood.
5
For it is the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he who delivered
you, he is the God of Israel, and shall be called so by the whole earth.
6
The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman
hated from her youth, says your God.
7
For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.
8
In a little anger I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will
I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.
9
From the time of the water of Noe this is my purpose: as I swore to him at that time,
saying of the earth, I will no more be wroth with you, neither when you are threatened,
10
shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy
fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for Alex. kuriov for kurie adopted here; Compare Mt 16:22,
with this passage the Lord who is gracious to you has spoken it.
11
Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I will prepare carbuncle
for your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;
12
and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious
stones.
13
Joh 6:45 And I will cause all your sons to be taught of God, and your children to be in great
peace.
14
And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not
fear; and trembling shall not come nigh you.
15
Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run
to you for refuge.
16
Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out
a vessel fit for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that I should destroy
you.
17
I will not suffer any Gr. instrument weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against
you for judgement, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be condemned
thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous
before me, says the Lord.
