耶和华对以色列的爱

54 不能生育、没有生养过孩子的啊!

你要欢呼。

没有生产过的啊!你要发声欢呼,高声呼喊。

因为弃妇比有夫之妇有更多儿子。

这是耶和华说的。

要扩张你帐幕的地方,

伸展你居所的幔子,不要限制;

要拉长你的绳索,

坚固你的橛子。

因为你要向南向北扩展,

你的后裔必占有列国之地,

又使荒废了的城镇有人居住。

不要惧怕,因为你必不致蒙羞;

也不要抱愧,因为你必不致受辱,

你必忘记你幼年时的羞愧,

也不再记念你寡居时的耻辱。

因为造你的,就是你的丈夫;

万军之耶和华是他的名;

救赎你的,就是以色列的圣者;

他被称为全地的 神。

因为耶和华召唤你,

如同召唤被离弃、心灵忧伤的妻子,

就是幼年时所娶却被弃绝的妻子;

这是你的 神说的。

我只是暂时离弃你,

却以极大的怜悯把你招聚回来。

在怒气涨溢的时候,

我暂时向你掩面,

却要以永远的慈爱怜悯你;

这是耶和华你的救赎主说的。

这事对我就好象挪亚时代的洪水一般;

我怎样起誓不再使挪亚时代的洪水漫过大地,

我也照样起誓不向你发怒,

也不斥责你。

10 虽然大山可以挪开,小山可以迁移,

但我的慈爱必不从你身上挪开,

我和平的约也必不迁移;

这是怜悯你的耶和华说的。

耶路撒冷将来的景况

11 受困苦、被风飘荡、不得安慰的啊!

你看,我要用彩色的石头安置你的基石,

以蓝宝石奠定你的根基。

12 又用红宝石做你的城楼,

用红玉做你的城门,

用各种宝石做你四周的围墙。

13 你所有的儿女都必受耶和华的教导,

你的儿女必大享平安。

14 你必因公义得以坚立;

你必远离欺压,你必无所惧怕;

你也必远离惊吓,因为惊吓必不会临近你。

15 看哪!必有人起来攻击你,但那不是出于我;

攻击你的,必因你仆倒。

16 看哪!那吹炭火、

打造出合用武器的铁匠,是我创造的;

那残害人、行毁灭的,也是我创造的。

17 为攻击你而制成的武器,都没有效用;

在审判的时候兴起来与你争辩的舌头,你都必定它为有罪。

这是耶和华众仆人的产业,

他们的义是从我而得;这是耶和华说的。

Future Glory for Israel

54 “Rejoice, childless one, who did not give birth;
burst into song and shout,
you who have not been in labor!(A)
For the children of the forsaken one will be more
than the children of the married woman,”(B)
says the Lord.
“Enlarge the site of your tent,
and let your tent curtains be stretched out;(C)
do not hold back;
lengthen your ropes,
and drive your pegs deep.
For you will spread out to the right and to the left,(D)
and your descendants will dispossess nations
and inhabit the desolate cities.

“Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame;(E)
don’t be humiliated, for you will not be disgraced.
For you will forget the shame of your youth,
and you will no longer remember
the disgrace of your widowhood.(F)
Indeed, your husband is your Maker(G)
His name is Yahweh of Hosts—
and the Holy One of Israel(H) is your Redeemer;(I)
He is called the God of all the earth.
For the Lord has called you,
like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit,(J)
a wife of one’s youth(K) when she is rejected,”
says your God.
“I deserted you for a brief moment,(L)
but I will take you back with great compassion.
In a surge of anger
I hid My face(M) from you for a moment,
but I will have compassion on you
with everlasting love,”(N)
says the Lord your Redeemer.
“For this is like the days[a] of Noah to Me:
when I swore that the waters of Noah
would never flood the earth again,(O)
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
or rebuke you.(P)
10 Though the mountains move
and the hills shake,
My love will not be removed from you
and My covenant of peace(Q) will not be shaken,”
says your compassionate Lord.

11 “Poor Jerusalem, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
I will set your stones in black mortar,[b]
and lay your foundations in sapphires.[c](R)
12 I will make your fortifications[d] out of rubies,
your gates out of sparkling stones,
and all your walls out of precious stones.
13 Then all your children will be taught by the Lord,(S)
their prosperity will be great,
14 and you will be established
on a foundation of righteousness.
You will be far from oppression,
you will certainly not be afraid;
you will be far from terror,
it will certainly not come near you.
15 If anyone attacks you,
it is not from Me;
whoever attacks you
will fall before you.
16 Look, I have created the craftsman
who blows on the charcoal fire
and produces a weapon suitable for its task;
and I have created the destroyer to cause havoc.
17 No weapon formed against you will succeed,
and you will refute any accusation[e]
raised against you in court.
This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants,(T)
and their righteousness is from Me.”(U)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
