| [1]GIVE praise, O barren, you who did not bear; break forth into singing and rejoice, you who have not travailed with child; for more are the children of the barren than the children of her that is beloved by her husband, says the LORD. |
[1]Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear, break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail; for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
| [2]Enlarge the place of your tents, and stretch forth the curtains of your habitations; spare not, lengthen your cords and strengthen your tent pegs; |
[2]Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations, spare not; lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. |
| [3]For you shall expand on the right hand and on the left; and your descendants shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. |
[3]For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess the nations, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. |
| [4]Fear not, for you shall not be ashamed; neither shall you be rebuked, for you shall not be put to shame; you shall forget the shame of your youth and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more. |
[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 the reproach of thy widowhood shalt thou remember no more. |
| [5]For your LORD shall do thus to you; the LORD of hosts is his name, and your Saviour the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall he be called |
[5]For thy Maker is thy husband, 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts is His name; and the Holy One of Israel is thy Redeemer, the God of the whole earth shall He be called. |
| [6]For the LORD has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and as a wife forsaken from her youth, says your God. |
[6]For 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath called thee as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit; and a wife of youth, can she be rejected? saith thy God. |
| [7]For in a little anger I have forsaken you; but with my great mercies I will gather you. |
[7]For a sma moment have I forsaken thee; but with great compassion will I gather thee. |
| [8]In a raging wrath I hid my face from you; but with my everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you, says the LORD, your Saviour. |
[8]In a little wrath I hid My face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have compassion on thee, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 thy Redeemer. |
| [9]This is like the days of Noah to 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 angry with you nor rebuke you. |
[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 be brought low and the hills bent downward; but my kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of your peace be removed, says the LORD, the Merciful One |
[10]For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall My covenant of peace be removed, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 that hath compassion on thee. |
| [11]O you afflicted one, tempest-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beryl, and lay your foundations with sapphires. |
[11]O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will set thy stones in fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. |
| [12]And I will make your walls of jasper and your gates of crystal and your borders of precious stones. |
[12]And I will make thy pinnacles of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy border of precious stones. |
| [13]And all your children shall learn of me; and great shall be the peace of your children. |
[13]And all thy children shall be taught of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; and great shall be the peace of thy children. |
| [14]In righteousness shall you be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from ruin, for destruction shall not come near you. |
[14]In righteousness shalt thou be established; be thou far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear, and from ruin, for it shall not come near thee. |
| [15]All those who are brought back by my hand shall enter into you; and they shall be as a place of refuge to your inhabitants. |
[15]Behold, they may gather together, but not by Me; whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee. |
| [16]Behold, I have created the smith who blows the coals in the fire and brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the ravager to destroy. |
[16]Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the fire of coals, and bringeth forth a weapon for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. |
| [17]No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, says the LORD |
[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 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and their due reward from Me, saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
