³For you will spread out to the right and to the left;

and settle in their desolate^(C) cities.

⁴“Do not be afraid;^(D) you will not be put to shame.^(E)

You will forget the shame of your youth^(G)
    and remember no more the reproach^(H) of your widowhood.^(I)

    the Lord Almighty is his name—
the Holy One^(L) of Israel is your Redeemer;^(M)
    he is called the God of all the earth.^(N)
⁶The Lord will call you back^(O)
    as if you were a wife deserted^(P) and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,^(Q)
    only to be rejected,” says your God.
⁷“For a brief moment^(R) I abandoned^(S) you,
    but with deep compassion^(T) I will bring you back.^(U)
⁸In a surge of anger^(V)
    I hid^(W) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness^(X)
    I will have compassion^(Y) on you,”
    says the Lord your Redeemer.^(Z)

⁹“To me this is like the days of Noah,
    when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.^(AA)
So now I have sworn^(AB) not to be angry^(AC) with you,
    never to rebuke^(AD) you again.
¹⁰Though the mountains be shaken^(AE)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love^(AF) for you will not be shaken^(AG)
    nor my covenant^(AH) of peace^(AI) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion^(AJ) on you.

¹¹“Afflicted^(AK) city, lashed by storms^(AL) and not comforted,^(AM)
    I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,^[a]^(AN)
    your foundations^(AO) with lapis lazuli.^(AP)
¹²I will make your battlements of rubies,
    your gates^(AQ) of sparkling jewels,
    and all your walls of precious stones.
¹³All your children will be taught by the Lord,^(AR)
    and great will be their peace.^(AS)
¹⁴In righteousness^(AT) you will be established:^(AU)
Tyranny^(AV) will be far from you;
    you will have nothing to fear.^(AW)
Terror^(AX) will be far removed;
    it will not come near you.
¹⁵If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
    whoever attacks you will surrender^(AY) to you.
