Isaiah 54:4-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁴ “Fear not, for you will ^(A)not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the ^(B)shame of your youth,
And the ^(C)reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
⁵ “For your ^(D)husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts;
And your ^(E)Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel,
Who is called the ^(F)God of all the earth.
⁶ “For the Lord has called you,
Like a wife ^(G)forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”
Says your God.
⁷ “^[a]For a ^(H)brief moment I forsook you,
But with great compassion I will ^(I)gather you.
⁸ “In an ^[b](J)outburst of anger
I hid My face from you for a moment,
But with everlasting ^(K)lovingkindness I will ^(L)have compassion on you,”
Says the Lord your ^(M)Redeemer.
