Isaiah 54:2-12

Isaiah 54:2-12

[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  [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] hath called  thee as a woman  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  [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.
