Enlarge the site for your dwelling
    and stretch out your tent curtains
    to the greatest possible extent.
Lengthen your ropes
    and strengthen your tent stakes.
For you will spread out
    to the right and to the left;
your descendants will dispossess the nations
    and settle in the desolate cities.
Have no fear, for you will not be put to shame;
    do not be discouraged, for you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth,
    and you will no longer remember
    the reproach of your widowhood.
