The Book of
Isaiah
Chapter 54
Isaiah 54:1 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.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
