ASV_Strong : Isaiah 54
1. Sing[H7442], O barren[H6135], thou that didst not bear[H3205]; break forth[H6476] into singing[H7440], and cry aloud[H6670], thou that didst not travail with child[H2342]: for more[H7227] are the children[H1121] of the desolate[H8074] than the children[H1121] of the married wife[H1166], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068].
2. Enlarge[H7337] the place[H4725] of thy tent[H168], and let them stretch forth[H5186] the curtains[H3407] of thy habitations[H4908]; spare[H2820] not[H748]: lengthen thy cords[H4340], and strengthen[H2388] thy stakes[H3489].
3. For thou shalt spread abroad[H6555] on the right hand[H3225] and on the left[H8040]; and thy seed[H2233] shall possess[H3423] the nations[H1471], and make the desolate[H8074] cities[H5892] to be inhabited[H3427].
4. Fear[H3372] not[H954]; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded[H3637]; for thou shalt not be put to shame[H2659]: for thou shalt forget[H7911] the shame[H1322] of thy youth[H5934]; and the reproach[H2781] of thy widowhood[H491] shalt thou remember no more[H2142].
5. For thy Maker[H6213] is thy husband[H1166]; Jehovah[H3068] of hosts[H6635] is his name[H8034]: and the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478] is thy Redeemer[H1350]; the God[H430] of the whole earth[H776] shall he be called[H7121].
6. For Jehovah[H3068] hath called[H7121] thee as a wife[H802] forsaken[H5800] and grieved[H6087] in spirit[H7307], even a wife[H802] of youth[H5271], when she is cast off[H3988], saith[H559] thy God[H430].
7. For a small[H6996] moment[H7281] have I forsaken[H5800] thee[H1419]; but with great mercies[H7356] will I gather thee[H6908].
8. In overflowing[H8241] wrath[H7110] I hid[H5641] my face[H6440] from thee for a moment[H7281]; but with everlasting[H5769] lovingkindness[H2617] will I have mercy[H7355] on thee[H559], saith Jehovah[H3068] thy Redeemer[H1350].
9. For this is as the waters[H4325] of Noah[H5146] unto me[H7650]; for as I have sworn that the waters[H4325] of Noah[H5146] shall no more go over[H5674] the earth[H776], so have I sworn[H7650] that I will not be wroth[H7107] with thee[H1605], nor rebuke thee.
10. For the mountains[H2022] may depart[H4185], and the hills[H1389] be removed[H4131]; but my lovingkindness[H2617] shall not depart[H4185] from thee[H1285], neither shall my covenant of peace[H7965] be removed[H4131], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068] that hath mercy on thee[H7355].
11. O thou afflicted[H6041], tossed with tempest[H5590], and not comforted[H5162], behold[H7257], I will set thy stones[H68] in fair colors[H6320], and lay thy foundations[H3245] with sapphires[H5601].
12. And I will make[H7760] thy pinnacles[H8121] of rubies[H3539], and thy gates[H8179] of carbuncles[H68], and all thy border[H1366] of precious[H2656] stones[H68].
13. And all thy children[H1121] shall be taught[H3928] of Jehovah[H3068]; and great[H7227] shall be the peace[H7965] of thy children[H1121].
14. In righteousness[H6666] shalt thou be established[H3559]: thou shalt be far[H7368] from oppression[H6233], for thou shalt not fear[H3372]; and from terror[H4288], for it shall not come near thee[H7126].
15. Behold[H1481], they may gather together[H1481], but not[H657] by me[H4310]: whosoever shall gather together[H1481] against thee shall fall because of thee[H5307].
16. Behold[H1254], I have created the smith[H2796] that bloweth[H5301] the fire[H784] of coals[H6352], and bringeth forth[H3318] a weapon[H3627] for his work[H4639]; and I have created[H1254] the waster[H7843] to destroy[H2254].
17. No weapon[H3627] that is formed[H3335] against thee shall prosper[H6743]; and every tongue[H3956] that shall rise[H6965] against thee in judgment[H4941] thou shalt condemn[H7561]. This is the heritage[H5159] of the servants[H5650] of Jehovah[H3068], and their righteousness[H6666] which is of me[H5002], saith Jehovah[H3068].
