“Sing, barren one who did not bear. Break forth into singing and shout, you who did not labor in birth. For the sons of the desolate are more than the sons of the married ishah,” says Yahuah.

“Enlarge the place of your tent; let them stretch the curtains of your dwellings. Do not hold back. Lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.
3
For right and left you shall break forth, and your seed shall inherit nations and cause desolate cities to be inhabited.
4
Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed. Do not be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and the reproach of your widowhood you shall remember no more.
5
For your Maker is your Husband— Yahuah of Hosts is His Name— and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Yisra’el; He is called the Elohim of all the earth.
6
For Yahuah has called you like an ishah forsaken and grieved in ruach, and like the ishah of youth when she is rejected,” says your Elohim.

“For a small moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I shall gather you.
8
In an overflowing of wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting covenant-faithfulness I shall have compassion upon you,” says Yahuah your Redeemer.
9
“For this is like the waters of Noach to Me. As I swore that the waters of Noach would no longer pass over the earth, so I have sworn not to be furious with you and not to rebuke you.
10
For the mountains may depart and the hills may shake, but My covenant-faithfulness shall not depart from you, and My Covenant of shalom shall not shake,” says Yahuah, who has compassion upon you.
11
“Afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, see, I set your stones in dark mortar and found you with sapphires.
12
I shall make your battlements of rubies, your gates of stones of fire, and all your border of stones of delight.
13
And all your sons shall be taught by Yahuah, and great shall be the shalom of your sons.
14
In Righteousness you shall be established. You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15
See, gathering, they may gather, but not from Me. Whoever gathers against you shall fall because of you.
16
See, I created the craftsman who blows the fire of coals and brings out an instrument for his work; and I created the destroyer to ruin.
17
Every instrument formed against you shall not prosper, and every tongue rising against you in Judgment you shall condemn. This is the Inheritance of the servants of Yahuah, and their Righteousness is from Me,” declares Yahuah.
