The Eternal Covenant of Peace

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)
Enlarge the site of your tent,
    and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
    and strengthen your stakes.(B)
For you will spread out to the right and to the left,
    and your descendants will possess nations
    and will settle desolate towns.(C)

    and will people the desolate cities.
