6 For the Lord (A)has called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,”
Says your God.
7 “For(B) a mere moment I have forsaken you,
But with great mercies (C)I will gather you.
8 With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment;
(D)But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you,”
Says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “For this is like the waters of (E)Noah to Me;
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with (F)you, nor rebuke you.
10 For (G)the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
(H)But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
11 “O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with (I)colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children shall be (J)taught by the Lord,
And (K)great shall be the peace of your children.
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.
Isaiah 54:6-14
New International Version
6 The Lord will call you back(A)
as if you were a wife deserted(B) and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,(C)
only to be rejected,” says your God.
7 “For a brief moment(D) I abandoned(E) you,
but with deep compassion(F) I will bring you back.(G)
8 In a surge of anger(H)
I hid(I) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness(J)
I will have compassion(K) on you,”
says the Lord your Redeemer.(L)
9 “To me this is like the days of Noah,
when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.(M)
So now I have sworn(N) not to be angry(O) with you,
never to rebuke(P) you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken(Q)
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(R) for you will not be shaken(S)
nor my covenant(T) of peace(U) be removed,”
says the Lord, who has compassion(V) on you.
11 “Afflicted(W) city, lashed by storms(X) and not comforted,(Y)
I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a](Z)
your foundations(AA) with lapis lazuli.(AB)
12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
your gates(AC) of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,(AD)
and great will be their peace.(AE)
14 In righteousness(AF) you will be established:(AG)
Tyranny(AH) will be far from you;
you will have nothing to fear.(AI)
Terror(AJ) will be far removed;
it will not come near you.

God Will Remember Zion
14 (A)But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me.”
15 “Can(B) a woman forget her nursing child,
[a]And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
(C)Yet I will not forget you.
16 See, (D)I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
17 Your [b]sons shall make haste;
Your destroyers and those who laid you waste
Shall go away from you.
18 (E)Lift up your eyes, look around and see;
All these gather together and come to you.
As I live,” says the Lord,
“You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all (F)as an ornament,
And bind them on you as a bride does.
19 “For your waste and desolate places,
And the land of your destruction,
(G)Will even now be too small for the inhabitants;
And those who swallowed you up will be far away.
20 (H)The children you will have,
(I)After you have lost the others,
Will say again in your ears,
‘The place is too small for me;
Give me a place where I may dwell.’
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who has begotten these for me,
Since I have lost my children and am desolate,
A captive, and wandering to and fro?
And who has brought these up?
There I was, left alone;
But these, where were they?’ ”
22 (J)Thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations,
And set up My [c]standard for the peoples;
They shall bring your sons in their [d]arms,
And your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
23 (K)Kings shall be your foster fathers,
And their queens your nursing mothers;
They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth,
And (L)lick up the dust of your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord,
(M)For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”

New International Version
15 “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child(C) she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!(D)
16 See, I have engraved(E) you on the palms of my hands;
your walls(F) are ever before me.
17 Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste(G) depart from you.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your children gather(H) and come to you.
As surely as I live,(I)” declares the Lord,
“you will wear(J) them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.
19 “Though you were ruined and made desolate(K)
and your land laid waste,(L)
now you will be too small for your people,(M)
and those who devoured(N) you will be far away.
20 The children born during your bereavement
will yet say in your hearing,
‘This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.’(O)
21 Then you will say in your heart,
‘Who bore me these?(P)
I was bereaved(Q) and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.(R)
Who brought these(S) up?
I was left(T) all alone,(U)
but these—where have they come from?’”
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord(V) says:
“See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner(W) to the peoples;
they will bring(X) your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.(Y)
23 Kings(Z) will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.(AA)
They will bow down(AB) before you with their faces to the ground;
they will lick the dust(AC) at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;(AD)
those who hope(AE) in me will not be disappointed.(AF)”
Isaiah 35:10
New King James Version
10 And the (A)ransomed of the Lord shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.

And (B)sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Jerusalem in Affliction
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!
(A)How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!
The (B)princess among the provinces
Has become a [a]slave!
2 She (C)weeps bitterly in the (D)night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.
All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies.
