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.
Gal 4:27
|
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.
John 6:45
|
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. |
