54 Shout for joy, O barren one who has borne no children;
    burst into song and shout,
    you who have not been in labor!
For the children of the desolate woman will be more
    than the children of the one who is married, says the Lord.^(A)

¹¹ For their offspring were accursed from the beginning,
and it was not through fear of anyone that you left them unpunished for their sins.^(A)
