Isaiah 54:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² “Make your tent bigger.
    Open your doors wide.
    Don’t think small!
Make your tent large and strong,
³     because you will grow in all directions.
Your children will take over many nations
    and live in the cities that were destroyed.
⁴ Don’t be afraid!
    You will not be disappointed.
People will not say bad things against you.
    You will not be embarrassed.
When you were young, you felt shame.
    But you will forget that shame now.
You will not remember the shame you felt
    when you lost your husband.^[a]
