Isaiah 54:3-15
New International Version
Isaiah 54:3-15
New International Version
3 For you will spread out to the right and to the left;
your descendants(A) will dispossess nations(B)
and settle in their desolate(C) cities.
4 “Do not be afraid;(D) you will not be put to shame.(E)
Do not fear disgrace;(F) you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth(G)
and remember no more the reproach(H) of your widowhood.(I)
5 For your Maker(J) is your husband(K)—
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)
6 The 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)
8 In 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.
10 Though 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)
12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
your gates(AQ) of sparkling jewels,
and all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,(AR)
and great will be their peace.(AS)
14 In 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.
15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender(AY) to you.

Isaiah 54:3-15
King James Version
Isaiah 54:3-15
King James Version
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6 For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.
9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
