Sing,
O
barren,
thou
[that]
didst
not
bear;
break
forth
into
singing,
and
cry
aloud,
thou
[that]
didst
not
travail
with
child:
for
more
[are]
the
children
of
the
desolate
than
the
children
of
the
married
wife,
saith
the
LORD.
2
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;
3
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.
4
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.
5
For
thy
Maker
[is]
thine
husband;
the
LORD
of
hosts
[is]
his
name;
and
thy
Redeemer
the
Holy
One
of
Israel;
The
God
of
the
whole
earth
shall
he
be
called.
6
For
the
LORD
hath
called
thee
as
a
woman
forsaken
and
grieved
in
spirit,
and
a
wife
of
youth,
when
thou
wast
refused,
saith
thy
God.
7
For
a
small
moment
have
I
forsaken
thee;
but
with
great
mercies
will
I
gather
thee.
8
In
a
little
wrath
I
hid
my
face
from
thee
for
a
moment;
but
with
everlasting
kindness
will
I
have
mercy
on
thee,
saith
the
LORD
thy
Redeemer.
9
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
have
I
sworn
that
I
would
not
be
wroth
with
thee,
nor
rebuke
thee.
10
For
the
mountains
shall
depart,
and
the
hills
be
removed;
but
my
kindness
shall
not
depart
from
thee,
neither
shall
the
covenant
of
my
peace
be
removed,
saith
the
LORD
that
hath
mercy
on
thee.
11
O
thou
afflicted,
tossed
with
tempest,
[and]
not
comforted,
behold,
I
will
lay
thy
stones
with
fair
colours,
and
lay
thy
foundations
with
sapphires.
12
And
I
will
make
thy
windows
of
agates,
and
thy
gates
of
carbuncles,
and
all
thy
borders
of
pleasant
stones.
13
And
all
thy
children
[shall
be]
taught
of
the
LORD;
and
great
[shall
be]
the
peace
of
thy
children.
14
In
righteousness
shalt
thou
be
established:
thou
shalt
be
far
from
oppression;
for
thou
shalt
not
fear:
and
from
terror;
for
it
shall
not
come
near
thee.
15
Behold,
they
shall
surely
gather
together,
[but]
not
by
me:
whosoever
shall
gather
together
against
thee
shall
fall
for
thy
sake.
16
Behold,
I
have
created
the
smith
that
bloweth
the
coals
in
the
fire,
and
that
bringeth
forth
an
instrument
for
his
work;
and
I
have
created
the
waster
to
destroy.
17
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
righteousness
[is]
of
me,
saith
the
LORD.
